Japanese Bamboo Art from New York: The Abbey Collection
Gifts to The Metropolitan Museum of Art

13 September – 8 December 2019
The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo
Crafts Gallery

In Tokyo, the loan exhibition will be hosted by the Crafts Gallery of the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo (MOMAT), which specializes in Japanese modern and contemporary crafts and design works.

To complement the 75 pieces from the Abbey Collection, the gallery will add a selection of fine pieces from its holdings. The Tokyo exhibition will thus provide a broader perspective to see the Abbey Collection and understand the significance within the modern craft history in Japan.
