Close to ART: The Taro Okamoto Museum of Art - Persevering Beyond the Coronavirus

Overview

The Taro Okamoto Museum of Art closed for 2 months due to COVID-19, but following Okamoto's words that art is "essential to human life," it found new methods to convey the unique power in his works. It opened the museum to internet virtual reality tours, allowing guests to enjoy his art remotely. In this time of uncertainty, Okamoto's Myth of Tomorrow, which is exhibited inside Shibuya Station, as well as other publicly displayed art reminds all people of the importance of perseverance.
