21 July 2010 - The last trip of this holiday was another highlight: a visit to the open-air museum in
Hakone. Set in the dramatic landscape of Hakone, this museum was opened in 1969 as the first open-air museum in Japan. The museum is now the permanent home of about 120 works by well-known modern and contemporary sculptors (Giacoma, Moore, Dubuffet, Willem de Kooning, Miro, et cetera).. There are also 6 exhibition halls, including a hall dedicated to the fabulous Picasso. The dramatic mountains as backdrop of modern art work very well, and it must be even more beautiful in autumn, with the changing color of the leaves. I really l.o.v.e.d. this museum (think Kroller-Moller in Holland, or Louisiana in Copenhagen, but
better) and do not understand why it is not more famous? It is a wonderful end of this great trip through Japan.
