Einstein in Japan – A Travelogue
Under the title Einstein in Japan – A Travelogue, an exhibition in Tokyo looked at a significant period in the life of Albert Einstein for the very first time, namely his 1922 trip to Japan. The exhibition narrative was developed based on Einstein’s diary entries. As such, the life and work of the famous physicist was presented in the form of a calendar that dealt with Einstein’s daily experiences in Japan and the reactions of the public to him. Ten thematic cabinets integrated into the chronology of this three-dimensional, walk-through diary present the most important events of this journey in the form of visual spatial scenes – which act as stages for Einstein, his theories and important contemporaries. The individual points along his journey were connected by a fictitious radio series providing the visitors with an audio play to navigate them through the exhibition.
