Exchange Activities

Under a fellowship from the Japan Foundation as a cultural affair professional, Rizki A. Zaelani came to Japan in October 1998 and stayed at the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum after a three-month study in Tokyo. As the first resident who stayed for a long period of time, his case was regarded as the pilot program. Since the Museum staff were involved in a hectic schedule preparing for imminent opening of the museum, the structure and system on the museum's side were far from satisfactory. Despite it all, he worked hard in a range of fields, including coordination, and eventually played a very important role as one of the staff members.
