The Floating World: Japanese Prints from the Bancroft Collection

Presented By: Worcester Art Museum

Travel hundreds of years through one of the most culturally abundant periods in world history. The Floating World: Japanese Prints from the Bancroft Collection illustrates the beauty of everyday life through 50 Japanese woodblock prints from the Museum’s collection, 48 of which are displayed for the first time. The exhibition pulls directly from WAM’s Bancroft Collection of over 3,700 Japanese prints — the first collection of its kind in the United States.
