Closed museums introduce exhibits on SNS 16:55 on March 14, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo
Art museums in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, are starting to introduce exhibits on SNS while museums in various regions are closed due to the spread of the new coronavirus.
The Ota Memorial Museum, an art museum specializing in Ukiyo-e in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, opened an exhibition last month that gathered about 110 Ukiyo-e works from the Meiji to Taisho eras. Closed from 1st.
At art museums, we have begun to introduce the works and collections of the exhibition with the hashtag “# House Ukiyo-e” on Twitter so that you can relax even in situations where it is difficult to go out.
Among them, works depicting fictitious animals combined with the zodiac to protect the safety of the house are said to have received about 24,000 responses from viewers.
The curator, Kenji Hinohara, who planned the project, said, `` Since it has become a situation that many people can not see the prepared work, I planned to have it watched at home, but I was surprised that there was a response more than expected The outlook is uncertain, but we hope that postings on SNS will trigger a visit when the museum opens.
