Over forty years have passed since its first opening in 1982. The Museum of Oriental Ceramics, Osaka (MOCO) will reopen its doors after a two-year renovation. In response to changes in the surrounding social and cultural environment over time, this renovation project aimed to transform the facility into a more approachable, friendly museum and connect with the citizens and various users worldwide. Major renovations included refurbishing the entrance hall, improving the exhibition spaces by updating the display cases and the LED lighting devices, and the installation of an exclusive display case for the National Treasure Yuteki Tenmoku tea bowl.
This inaugural exhibition will showcase approximately 380 masterpieces selected from MOCO’s East Asian ceramics collection, focusing on the world-renowned Ataka Collection and the Rhee Byung-Chang Collection. Visitors can enjoy these invaluable works through a newly redesigned exhibit.
The word Shin in the Japanese exhibition title has three representative meanings: newness, truth, and heart (emotion). These three homophones symbolize the Museum’s major objectives: to take a path toward transforming itself into a “new” museum, to introduce “true” art to the visitors, and to provide exciting museum experiences that touch the “hearts” of the visitors.
