The exhibition brings together works by modern and contemporary Japanese artists alongside international artists, revealing the intersection of the local and the global. It comprises a total of 100 works across three sections, tracing art history from 1926 to the present. Offering important insight into the museum's history and the currents of international art exchange, the exhibition's spatial layout and arrangement of works in particular leave a deep impression on visitors.
