The ‘Let’s Talk Art!’ programme participants will not listen to explanations of artworks but enjoy artworks through a delightful conversation among them and a facilitator.
Specifically, participants will take an hour to explore three works from the displayed ‘MOMAT Collection’ and discuss Japan’s art and culture, as well as those of participant countries, based on what the works portray.
The museum will not notify in advance the three works for discussions in each session, hoping that participants will look forward to knowing the selected works under a theme given on the day of the programme, on the spot.
In response to the interests of participants, the facilitator will provide basic information on the history of the locations and others found in the works, as well as tourist information.
Japan’s first national art museum situated near the Imperial Palace, aims to provide the country’s new attractions through the programme, including a venue for communication, leading to mutual respect on diverse cultures and values.
The MOMAT Collection is Japan’s sole exhibition of artworks, enabling visitors to sense more than 100 years of the history of modern Japanese art, where about 200 from over 13,000 works are displayed.
Besides the programme, there are signs explaining artworks on display and audio guidance in English (paid) while free guide apps in English, Chinese and Korean are also available.
Pre-registration is necessary (up to six people), for foreign visitors above 11 years old and adult fee is 1,500 yen. Discounts are offered for students and senior visitors. (100 yen = RM3.66)
