Installation view of Gallery 9 ("Glass and Light")
Jiyu Area
(Yokohama Museum of Art Collection Exhibition)
To Invert and Be Inverted
[Gallery 8, Free admission]
What if everything was suddenly inverted? Up was made down, left made right? What if black was made white, the tiny made huge, and the hard made soft...? Your whole mind would be turned upside down and the things around you might suddenly seem different. New ways of thinking and new ways of being would fill the world! For this exhibition, we fill Gallery 8 with art that turns everything around－and delivers the kind of joy and surprise that you might call the most fundamental of museum experiences.

Glass and Light
[Gallery 9, Free admission]
During its recent major renovation, the museum got a brand new glass-walled gallery. Bright, sunlit and offering views both in and out, this compact new gallery will now host an exhibition of glass objects from the collection. Even the museum curators gasped at the beauty of the natural light playing on the assembled artworks. Viewed in the morning or the evening, and from inside or outside, the works appear different every time you look at them. So please stop by whenever you can－even if you’re just out for a walk or shopping.
