An international musician from Australia, Sarah Àlainn, was assigned as a special ambassador of Kyushu National Museum. The singer-and-violinist had been collaborating with the museum since 2017 through concerts and other promotional activities. The museum officially appointed Sarah as the first museum ambassador on Jan. 23 with the expectation that her pleasant image and appreciation of Dazaifu will help raise awareness of the museum. Sarah will appear at various events of the museum for the next two years, including a mini-live to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of the facility’s night museum.
