A View with a Story – Selections from the Hara Museum Collection

March 14 (Saturday) – June 28 (Sunday), 2015
Galleries A, B and C (Contemporary Art)

Mt. Akagi hazy in the distance, foliage fresh and lush, and the majestic sea of cherry blossoms at the foot of Mt. Haruna make Hara Museum ARC in the spring a symphony of beautiful views. But the word “view” can also refer to other kinds of scenery of an external or internal nature, each with a story or a viewpoint to convey.
The exhibition features works from the Hara Museum Collection by some of the most noted artists active today in which various scenes are depicted, each with a story that the viewer is invited to tell.
Why not come this spring to enjoy the views?
