Installation view of Gallery 9 ("Glass and Light")
(Jiyu Area/Gallery 9)
[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.
