Review: The National Museum of Scotland’s Ainu Display
The National Museum of Scotland, in Edinburgh, hosts one of the largest collections of both historical and contemporary Ainu items in the UK. These items come largely from Neil Gordon Munro’s personal collection in the early 20th Century; but also contains items from the late 19th century (from researchers Dr John and Grace Anderson and Isabella Bishop), and further items created specifically for the museum and/or donated by artisans throughout the 21st Century.
