SUMMARY:The Art Lover's Guide to Japanese Museums
DESCRIPTION:VIRTUAL EVENT\nJapan is a country of museums. There are more than 1\,200 art museums yet this fact is often little known outside its borders. They are sprinkled throughout Japan and their range is striking. Museums are a fascinating gateway into Japanese culture\, whether traditional or contemporary\, but foreign visitors are often bewildered by their quantity and variety. With only a few that offer information in English\, a guidebook is indispensable. \n​The Art Lover’s Guide to Japanese Museums acts as a personal guide\, introducing readers to some of the most distinctive and inspiring art museums in the country. Visiting close to 200 venues nationwide\, Sophie Richard conducted in-depth interviews with museum curators and directors\, which provides an unrivalled insight into the world of Japanese museums. The vibrant\, richly illustrated guide showcases public and private museums selected for the strength of their collection and their individuality\, as well as pointers to further local attractions. Among them are sites that have survived earthquakes and wars\, beautifully maintained estates turned into museums\, sleek examples of contemporary architecture… Some are smaller than others but all are worth a visit. \n​Join the Japan Society of Northern California for a discussion with author Sophie Richard about her guide to Japanese museums. \nFREE – VIRTUAL EVENT \nREGISTER HERE
