SUMMARY:Relaxed event - Samurai @ British Museum\, London
DESCRIPTION:This event welcomes people with disabilities\, neurodivergent individuals and anyone with sensory needs seeking a calmer environment in which to view the Samurai exhibition.\nDiscover the reality behind a millennium of myth at this sweeping exhibition on the legendary Japanese warriors. The samurai is an iconic figure\, evoking images of formidable fighters possessing ideals of courage\, honour and self-sacrifice. Yet much of what we think we know about samurai is invented tradition. \nOur concept of samurai today has its origins in medieval reality. A distinct warrior class – known in Japan as bushi – emerged and gained political dominance from the 1100s. But during a prolonged period of peace\, beginning in 1615\, the samurai moved away from the battlefield to become an elite social class that also included women. Samurai men formed the government\, serving as ministers and bureaucrats. Many became leaders in scholarship and the arts\, as patrons\, poets and painters\, in a world where intellectual pursuits were just as important as swordsmanship. \nThis event is part of the public programme supporting the exhibition Samurai (open until 4 May 2026). \nBooking information\n\nBook now(Opens in new window) to reserve your place.\nPlease meet at the Montague Place entrance at 6pm. View the Museum map(Opens in new window) for more information.\nAssistance dogs are very welcome in the Museum.\nIf you have any access requirements or need assistance booking this event please email access@britishmuseum.org or phone +44 (0)20 7323 8971.
