Norfolk Museum Commemorates 80th VJ Day Anniversary With FEPOW Event

The Royal Norfolk Regimental Museum is commemorating the 80th Anniversary of VJ Day with a special event featuring talks, films, and drama focused on the experiences of Far East Prisoners of War (FEPOWs) and their legacies, including exhibitions and performances funded by Arts Council England. In London, author Noah Angell explores ghost stories connected to the British Museum in his book "Ghosts of the British Museum," suggesting that the supernatural occurrences are linked to the colonial acquisition of artifacts, sharing accounts from museum staff and security personnel. Additionally, the British Museum showcases significant historical artifacts, including ancient Japanese pottery and the oldest complete tabletop game from Mesopotamia, illustrating a rich cultural heritage. These events and exhibitions collectively offer immersive experiences that connect audiences with history, memory, and art through diverse mediums and narratives.
