Simose Art Museum’s opening exhibition Hina Dolls and Modern Art
The Simose Art Museum in SIMOSE opened on March 1, 2023. Hara Design Institute handled the design of the main visuals and various tools as well as the overall curation of exhibits and production of exhibit captions for the opening exhibition Hina Dolls and Modern Art, which unveils the museum's collection.
Placing a hina doll, the gem of the exhibited works, front and center, with the art museum's entrance hall and its giant tree-like pillars with branches extending outwards in the background, the visuals announcing the opening conveyed the unique experience that can be had at the Simose Art Museum, where visitors can view traditional kogei craftworks within the contemporary architecture.
