At the Matsumoto City Museum of Art,<\/a> I had the opportunity to surround myself with vibrant colors, emotive designs, and landscapes that seemed to go on without end. The museum is featuring a three-floor solo exhibition of works<\/a> by the famed avant-garde artist and Matsumoto native Yayoi Kusama.<\/p>\n\"20180303_195929\"\n\"20180303_152449\"\n\"20180303_145558\"\n

While her pumpkin pieces are particular favorites of mine, a number of other works including those incorporating mirrors and blacklights as well as collages were captivating also. Some of Kusama’s earliest pieces are included in the exhibits, and a short highlight real shows parts of her time in New York. While the museum is always displaying some of her work, this exhibition gives you a more complete picture of who Yayoi Kusama is as an artist.<\/p>\n

Take advantage of the photo opp just to the left of the stairs where you’ll find a cut-out of Kusama. You’ll also find a wide range of polka-dot themed souvenirs as well as towels, playing cards, and dishware designed with her other unique\u00a0illustrations.<\/p>\n
