Fashion, MANGA among Japan's National Art Center, Tokyo summer 2020 exhibition schedule

KUALA LUMPUR, March 26 -- The National Art Center, Tokyo (NACT) has announced its exhibition schedule during summer 2020, including exhibitions on ‘Fashion in Japan 1945-2020’ and ‘MANGA -- TOKYO’. 

Boasting one of the largest exhibition spaces in Japan, NACT is a popular art museum drawing over two million global visitors annually, with diverse exhibitions ranging from worldwide modern and contemporary art to manga, architecture and fashion.

NACT also offers ample ways to pass the time with three cafes, a restaurant and shop with an extensive selection of goods. The photogenic building with its wave-like ‘curtain wall’ of glass, designed by architect Kisho Kurokawa, is an attraction in and of itself.

Despite being in the centre of the city, the interior is suffused with light and the green of trees, allowing visitors to experience the concept of ‘an art centre surrounded by green spaces’, according to a statement.

On Fridays and Saturdays, NACT is open until 8pm (9pm from July to September). It is located in the sophisticated Roppongi district, a global centre for art, fashion and dining surrounded by shopping facilities such as Roppongi Hills and Tokyo Midtown.

The special exhibitions' schedule are, Timeless Conversations 2020: Voices from Japanese Art of the Past and Present (closing on June 1, opening date to be confirmed later);  Fashion in Japan 1945-2020 (June 3 to Aug 24); MANGA -- TOKYO (July 8 to Sept 22); and, TOKUJIN YOSHIOKA Glass Tea House KOU-AN (underway through May 10, 2021).
