About the Exhibition

The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, presents "The Window: A Journey of Art and Architecture through Windows" from Nov 1st, 2019 to Feb 2nd, 2020. Windows are all too familiar to everyone. They let light and wind in the room while protecting us from coldness and heat. Through them, we can have a fresh view of the outside world while indoors.
