The British Museum is hosting an exibit of the sketches and drawings of Hoshino Yukinobu, creator of the famous Japanese manga character Professor Munakata. It shows the production of his five month mystery story featuring the iconic character's visit to the British Museum and the thrilling storyline he becomes involved in.

Japanese readers followed the fortnightly episodes of the adventure in Big Comic, and now the museum is publishing all ten parts together with an English translation.

The exibition runs until 9th April 2012 and admission is Free!
