The Kyocera Museum of Art |
 |
 |
The Kyocera Museum of Art, which is open to the public free of charge, was established in 1998 in the headquarters building (Kyoto City, Japan) as part of Kyocera's social contribution activities. Many works of art are on permanent display, including Picasso's copper plate print series 347, contemporary Japanese paintings, Western-style paintings, and sculptures. We hope visitors will take advantage of this cultural space to relax and appreciate art.
The eighth special exhibition, entitled "Poems of the Hometown: Shinya nakamura Sculpting the Japanese Spirit" was held from September to October 2010.
Shinya Nakamura, who received Japan's Order of Culture in 2007, is a pioneer of contemporary representational sculpture in Japan, and a leading figure in the world of Japanese sculpture. The theme of the special exhibition depicted human beings' warm gaze and poetic sentiment, and the many visitors enjoyed the wide variety of the 44 pieces on display. |
