My impression: “The two pillars of the exhibition: special exhibitions and permanent collections.”
The Intermediatheque’s special exhibitions fall into two categories: large-scale exhibitions in the permanent exhibition rooms and exhibitions in the GREY CUBE gallery space.
This time, it’s a photography exhibition in GREY CUBE. According to the official website, the exhibition is a re-edited version of “IMT in Construction: Intermediatheque Construction,” held in 2013 when the museum opened.
Visitors can appreciate construction records from two eras: the former Tokyo Central Post Office (built between 1929 and 1931) and the JP Tower (built between 2010 and 2013).
It conveys the importance of documentation, preservation, and public access.
Summary
This exhibition offers a glimpse into the construction of massive structures that are rarely seen in everyday life, making it enjoyable for anyone interested in architecture.
Even if architecture isn’t your thing, the University Museum at the University of Tokyo has a diverse permanent collection that includes academic specimens and modern industrial equipment. Admission is free, so be sure to visit if you’re in the area!
