Pre-Opening Events CELEBRATING COLORS !
KYOCERA Square Winter Concert: Takagi Masakatsu, Marginalia
2019/12/21
Venue [ KYOCERA Square ]
KYOCERA Square, the newly designed sloping open space in front of the Main Building entrance, allows concertgoers the added enjoyment of Okazaki area scenery such as the Heian Shrine’s large torii gate and the Museum façade. Experiencing the after-hours open-air concert by Takagi Masakatsu, visitors will quickly understand the special appeal of KYOCERA Square as more than just the Museum entrance.
About CELEBRATING COLORS!
The Celebrating Colors! pre-opening events featuring internationally active artists will be presented in advance of the March 21, 2020 official opening of Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art. These are intended to offer experiences to enjoy different types of art and color. We expect the events to build anticipation as people ‘find their own color’ and feel a part in the Museum renewal with an understanding of how the Museum will be when it reopens on March 21.
