Uncover the contribution of women to art and design on this special tour. There have always been women artists but, until very recently, they’ve often been ignored by the art world.

The Japanese dye 'beni', made from safflower petals, produces red hues and an iridescent green. This display reveals its many uses in fashion, from heel-less shoes by Noritaka Tatehana, to textiles, cosmetics and ukiyo-e woodblock prints.
