MOA Unmasked: Unlocking Art, Heritage and Knowledge from Disasters
Thursday July 13 at 7 pm + Saturday, July 15 at 11 am
Join MOA for a behind-the-scenes tour with MOA Curator Fuyubi Nakamura and MOA Conservator Mauray Toutloff.
Due to the enthusiastic response from this sold-out tour, which was originally held in March, we will once again be offering it in July.
With our ongoing seismic upgrade construction, the July tours will focus on the importance of earthquake mitigation and preserving cultural heritage. These tours will offer a unique opportunity to learn why seismic upgrades are underway at MOA, and the roles of art and memory in the aftermath of disasters, the theme of MOA’s 2021 exhibition, A Future for Memory: Art and Life after the Great East Japan Earthquake.
There will be presentations by MOA Curator Fuyubi Nakamura and MOA Conservator Mauray Toutloff followed by a demonstration in the conservation lab and tours through the galleries and storage areas showcasing emergency planning.
Tours are 90 minutes long.
Due to the behind-the-scenes nature of these tours, registration/tickets are required in advance (ticket links below). Tickets will not be available at the door. Latecomers cannot be accommodated.
