UPCOMING PROGRAM

Theme: Reflecting on the Work and Philosophy of Great Designers

November 21 (Fri), 2025 - March 8 (Sun), 2026

Human encounter provides avenues to think about the future of life and society. In this age of dynamic social change, with its fast flows of mass information, we might wish to look back and consider masters who used design to articulate diverse viewpoints.

This exhibition will focus on 20th century design leaders. These figures put their hopes and beliefs into practice and brought new social insights. The exhibition introduces them as Great Designers. Visitors will enjoy encountering fascinating designers and sensing their curiosity, inquisitiveness and courage.

Exhibition Directors: Noriko Kawakami, Kaoru Tashiro

Theme: Food

March 27 (Fri), 2026 - August 9 (Sun), 2026

Food, clothing and shelter are considered the minimum requirements for human life. While clothing and shelter wrap us from outside, food fills us within. This exhibition is directed by Natsumi Toyama, a designer with wide interest in food, clothing and shelter. She sets soup as the main axis of her design activity, believing that soup can contain rich nutritious elements in their simplest dietary form. Food is the theme of this exhibition, which interacts with the five senses. Soup is the means to address Tōyama’s lifework and the boundaries between food, clothing and shelter.
