More exhibitions cancelled in Japan

Although none of the key exhibition venues have reported structural damage, the impact of potentially unreliable electricity due to rolling blackouts and the ongoing nuclear crisis have forced organisers and venues to either postpone or cancel exhibitions. There have also been reports that Tokyo Big Sight is using several of its halls to house a small number of evacuees.
