Introducing some features of the museum’s exhibitions of works from the collection: First, its scale is one of the largest in Japan, displaying approximately 200 works each term from the museum’s holdings of over 13,000 works acquired since its opening in 1952. Also, it is one of the foremost exhibitions in Japan, tracing the arc of Japanese modern and contemporary art from the end of the 19th century to the present day through a series of 12 rooms, each with its specific theme.
Some highlights of the current term are as follows. “Paris and the Salons” in Room 5, “20 Photographs by Eugène Atget” in Room 9, and “East-West Pairings / Nihon-ga from Three Cities” in Room 10 are exhibits related to the special exhibition Trio: Modern Art Collections from Paris, Tokyo, and Osaka (opening May 21). In Rooms 7 and 8 on the third floor, “Playback: Abstract Art Exhibition: Japan and U.S.A. (1955)” is the second phase of a project that utilizes both VR and archival materials to look back at important exhibitions from the museum’s earliest years. Also, our appreciation program for the “Highlights” in Room 1 and “In the Artists’ Own Words” program in Room 12, both new endeavors, were well-received in the previous term, and will continue this term with a rotation in the lineup of works.
