MOA Unmasked: Unlocking Art, Heritage and Knowledge from Disasters
Thursday March 9 at 7 pm + Saturday, March 11 at 11 am
Join MOA for a behind-the-scenes tour with MOA Curator Fuyubi Nakamura and MOA Conservator Mauray Toutloff.
March 11 marks the 12th anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake, the theme of MOA’s 2021 exhibition, A Future for Memory, and with the ongoing seismic construction at MOA, these tours will focus on the importance of earthquake mitigation and preserving cultural heritage. The tours will offer a unique opportunity to learn why seismic upgrades are underway at MOA, and the role of art in the aftermath of disasters.
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.
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.
