Artworks from the 20th century are presented in a well-thought-out exhibition format to pique the intellectual curiosity of art enthusiasts.

Works by Andy Warhol and Sol Lewitt are displayed without captions, allowing visitors to enjoy these historical masterpieces without preconceptions.

Joseph Cornell‘s collection of “box” pieces and collages will make viewers think back to their own nostalgic inner lives.

Given the anticipated increase in visitors during this period, the museum has implemented an online ticketing system to manage admissions effectively.

Don’t miss this chance to visit Kawamura Memorial DIC Museum of Art in its original setting, where you can immerse yourself in a rich cultural experience amidst the natural beauty of Sakura City.
