The National Art Center, Tokyo






I took myself on a date today. This is Tokyo’s largest and newest art museum. It is currently featuring an exhibit called, Living in the Material World: “Things” in Art of the 20th Century and Beyond. It includes pieces borrowed from museums all over the world, including other museums in Japan. The concept was great, and very unexpected in a town obsessed with all things shop-able.

I would like to take myself on a proper date. One that includes cultural enrichment, rather than trying to squeeze into Maternity pants in the Old Navy fitting room.
