Why do we fall in love? Since ancient times, people have composed love songs, changed the way they met, and sometimes created rules for romance... Though the form of love has changed, it continues to this day.
The "Why Love" exhibition is composed of a past chapter that looks back on love from ancient times to the present with 50 episodes, and a future chapter that displays essays imagining six different futures for love. The past chapter touches on a wide variety of views on love through stories of love in each era, popularity, heartbreak, and great love, while the future chapter is an exhibition that lets visitors imagine what love might be like 100 years from now.
What we take for granted as "forms of love" were not so in the past, and some were even considered absurd. Perhaps the emotion of love will be extinct in a few hundred years. By looking at love from the past to the future, we can question what is normal for us and look at its unchanging essence.
This special exhibition uses the familiar theme of love to learn about history, ask "why?" about our current values, and think about the near future.
