About

Built on the former site of an old orchard, this museum transforms into a space that seems to hold the light of summer sunshine, as full as the glow of ripening pears. When the seasonal wind passes, like white petals scattering through the streets, dawn light flows softly along the museum's glass walls, and a glittering scene unfolds with the direction of the wind. Along the path leading to the exhibition hall are sculptures and paintings inspired by pears, giving a leisurely feeling like walking toward fruit harvested in a spring mountain. In this space where nature and art intersect, the fragrance of pears drifts through, and visitors' footsteps grow light, like a slowly flowing river.
