Matsumoto Museum of Art - Yayoi Kusama
This museum is famous for the work of Yayoi Kusama. I had seen her work before, but knew nothing about her.
According to Wikipedia, she was born March 22, 1929 and is a Japanese contemporary artist who primarily works in sculpture and installation. She was raised in Matsumoto and trained at the Kyoto City University of Arts. She moved to New York City in 1958 and embraced the hippie culture of the 1960’s. She returned to Japan in 1973.
The outside of the museum features her work.
Photos were only allowed in one room of her exhibit - the yellow pumpkin room.
I really enjoyed this exhibit and would see it again, if I had the chance.
