Event content

This special exhibition, with the entire museum as the venue, is also an opportunity to show off the full picture of an art museum that has changed while cherishing the past.

There are many changes in the building after the renovation work, but in this exhibition, we will focus on various “before” and “after” phenomena and situations that occur when something like this triggers something.

We will introduce approximately 100 works by a total of 45 artists, including works from the museum's collection and new works created for this event.
