Yayoi Kusuama Museum

Yayoi Kusama Museum was founded by the avant-garde artist Yayoi Kusama, and is run by the Yayoi Kusama Foundation. It opened in 2017 with the aim of spreading and promoting Kusama’s art, exhibiting her works and related materials to contribute to the development of art as a whole. 
By presenting our collection of her works in two exhibitions each year with lectures and various other events, we hope to share widely the message of world peace and love for humanity that Kusama has promoted, while also engaging people from all backgrounds with contemporary art.









How to 'spot' the Matsumoto City Museum of Art!
Also referred to as the Yayoi Kusuama museum, the Matsumoto City Museum of Art quite 'dotty' but in a good way – literally as Yayoi’s famous artwork can be see all over the museum, even down to the playground and vending machines outside – it certainly creates spots before the eyes!
Some of Yayoi Kusuama’s earliest works are on permanent display at Matsumoto City Museum of Art.
Her largest piece in the world, the huge sculpture “The Visionary Flowers” sits on display in front of the museum and can be visited for free. The famous 2.5 metre yellow pumpkin with black dots is also one of the signature pieces at the museum.


Please note the museum is closed on Mondays.




I found these three consecutive photos of L'il Grandhunk #3 and WonderWoman, that I took in 2005

How precious are these cute pics of your daughter and your youngest grandson, Jacki. Yes, time flew by in a blink of the eye.
We need this one person's peaceful presence so urgently, don't we?
Hope you will be done with your taxes soon. I so understand that you don't like doing it - me too.
Happy Sunday
