The classic animated series Tom & Jerry was created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, and even though it premiered in 1940 it maintains popularity to this day. The show follows the comedic rivalry between Tom, a clever but hapless cat, and Jerry, a quick-witted and mischievous mouse, and has provided entertainment for decades.
A special exhibition taking place at the Nagasaki Prefectural Museum of Art is showcasing a variety of Tom and Jerry related pieces, from collaborative works with commissioned artists to fun trick art displays and plenty more.
Admission to the event is priced at 800 yen.
