Salvador Dali and Japanese Avant-Garde

A special exhibition at the Morohashi Museum of Modern Art

Venue: Morohashi Museum of Modern Art When: Apr 24th - Jun 27th 2021

Salvador Dali (1904-1989) was seen as one of the leading artists of the 20th Century, and his Surrealist-styled work was influential to many. Various Japanese avant-garde artists drew inspiration from Dali's works, and a special exhibition at Fukushima's Morohashi Museum of Modern Art will explore this connection.

A number of Dali's works from the museum's collection will be displayed, alongside pieces from Japanese avant-garde painters including Ichiro Fukuzawa, Hamao Hamada, and Iwami Furusawa. The impact that Dali had on these individuals is evident when exploring their art.

Adult admission to the event is priced at 1300 yen, and no advance reservations are required.

Getting there

The Morohashi Museum of Modern Art is located around 20 minutes by taxi from Inawashiro Station, served by the Ban'etsu West Line. Alternatively, take the Bandai Toto Bus from Inawashiro Station until you reach the Morohashi Museum of Modern Art stop (around 25 minutes).

For those who plan to drive to the museum, take the Koriyama exit from the Ban'etsu Expressway. The museum is around a 20 minute drive from there.

Yes, thankfully museums have been good at taking preventative measures like limiting intakes and such! 😊

Once, I visited the house of Salvador Dali in Spain - it was really interesting. Dali definitely wanted to be outstanding! :)
