View Report
On November 7, 2024, I visited the “Looking at Architecture 2024: In the Glow of Lights” an exhibition themed on the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum’s building in 2024, with the main theme of this year being light. At the entrance to the building, I was given a pamphlet with photos and explanations of the lighting.
On the first floor, the exhibits are kept modest to highlight the lighting, but the newly acquired table lamp in the main guest room and the newly acquired menu “Grapes” by Rene Lalique on the table in the dining room are not to be underestimated. In the smoking room, there are a few two-dimensional and three-dimensional works such as posters.
On the second floor, there is a room with a changed wallpaper, and the lighting has been changed to create a different impression than usual. The captions for the exhibits contain detailed explanations, including the structure of the lighting, and you can take photos of the explanations so you can read them at your leisure later.
The Winter Garden on the third floor is also open, and although the number of people allowed in the room is limited, the only decorations inside are two chairs, so visitors can see the whole room, and the open windows allow visitors to enjoy the view outside.
The highlight of the new wing is the reproduction of a dining room, and there are also many other items on display on the walls, such as table lamps and design drawings.
I missed the screening of Hiraki Sawa’s “pilgrim” in the curtained room at the back left.
