Hiroshima MOCA Closing Event “Until We See You Again”

2020.12.1(Tue) — 12.11(Fri) 12/27(Sun)

Hiroshima MOCA opened in 1989 as the first public museum focusing on contemporary art. From December 28, 2020, after thirty-one years since its opening, the museum enters the first long-term closure for renovation. Starting from December 1, we open the museum for free for our visitors to enjoy the museum’s architecture and our unique collection before approximately two-year closure. This closing month is also a rare opportunity to see different sides of the museum, such as the “empty gallery,” that cannot be seen while the museum is in normal operation. Please visit the museum one last time before its long-term closure.

December 1— 27, 2020 *Cancelled
Free Entry Month
 
The visitors can enjoy the special exhibition of the museum collection and GENBI Recollections that introduces spaces that will be changed through renovation.

Building Frottage—Until We See You Again

Please ask at the information desk to participate. With the workshop kit, please walk around the museum and try to make your frottage works out of museum walls and floors. The kit includes a postcard to be left at the museum so that we can send you a card when the museum reopens in two years.
*Frottage is an art-making technique to copy the surface texture of a material, such as walls and floors by placing a piece of paper over it and rubbing it with a pencil.
