Welcome to the MOMAT Collection!
To introduce 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 13 rooms, each with its own specific theme.
This term’s highlights are as follows. In Room 5 on the fourth floor, we present 100 Years of Surrealism, showcasing one of the most significant movements in 20th-century art, Surrealism, including a newly acquired work by Max Ernst on view for the first time. On the third floor Room, in 8, a special exhibit marks the centenary of the birth of Akutagawa (Madokoro) Saori, an artist who soared to prominence in the 1950s. And, in Gallery 4 on the second floor, Feminism and the Moving Image explores the works of female artists who have been significant figures in video art and the moving image since around 1970.
Once again this term, we are pleased to offer an extensive selection of works from the MOMAT Collection for you to enjoy at your leisure.
