The year 2024 began with a large earthquake on the Noto Peninsula.
Every few years, major disasters strike our country, significantly affecting our lives.
From a broader perspective, the landscapes we see may be precious and irreplaceable, as various problems occur around the world, such as global warming, resource depletion, and destruction caused by war. This time, our museum will be exhibiting various artistic expressions and materials that deal with the earth, the environment, and nature.
We hope that through viewing this exhibition, visitors will be able to reaffirm their appreciation for the beauty and splendor of the environment, nature and landscapes, and that it will inspire them to take action to ensure that these irreplaceable things are not lost in the future.
