Modern Japanese Art from the Museum Collection
Permanent event
At The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo
Media: Painting, Drawing, Photography, Prints, Sculpture
Using three floors of the main building, this permanent exhibition presents about 200 to 250 pieces selected from our museum's collection of about 9,200 works, including Japanese- and Western-style paintings, watercolors, drawings, prints, photographs and sculptures, to provide a historical overview on modern Japanese art from the beginning of the 20th century to present. The show also includes some overseas works related to Japanese pieces. Many of the exhibits are largely replaced five times a year. In addition to the historical approach, a smaller show, "Topic in Focus" is given in each exhibition period to shed new light on modern Japanese art.
The permanent collection is displayed in regular rotation. Please check the museum's website for details.
