Japanese-style crane 1920s

This bronze crane once stood in Peasholm Park. The park opened in 1912 and included ornate gardens in a Japanese style. We don’t have that many sculptures in the collection so it was a real pleasure to select this object. Peasholm Park is still referred to as the Japanese Gardens and reflects the fascination with all things Japanese which started in the mid-1900s. Dorcas, Curator
