[Invitation ticket pairs 3 pairs] Six readers of 3 groups of Good Travel News Newsletter will receive an invitation ticket to the "Toto Exhibition" (courtesy: Morohashi Museum of Modern Art). To apply, Inquiry Form Please write "Toto Exhibition Application" in the title and let us know your name, age, e-mail address, telephone number, and address (*PO Box or place of work are not acceptable). The deadline is March 31, 2025. Only one entry per person is allowed. The announcement of the winner will be replaced by shipping. Entrants are deemed to have agreed to these agreements.

 

The exhibition is organized under the theme of "Healthcare Starting from the Museum." First of all, in the "Toto Exhibition: Introduction", we will introduce what "Toto" is, and experience a quiz to stretch your eyes and soften your head before viewing. In addition, an attempt will be made to utilize the museum as a place for healthcare, such as posting the approximate number of steps and calories burned in the exhibition room.

 

Chapter 1 then focuses on the impact of art appreciation on health and well-being. Methods and results of scientific demonstration experiments are introduced. In addition, during the exhibition, a demonstration experiment of the joint research "Museum Bath" of the Morohashi Museum of Modern Art and Kyushu Sangyo University was conducted. Visitors will be able to experience the impact of the museum on their minds and bodies through emotional evaluations and blood pressure and pulse measurements before and after viewing.

 

Chapter 2 focuses on the return of Impressionist painters to nature from the 19th century onwards. Through works such as Sisley's "Stacked Straws," the audience relives the "snapping" moments of the painters.

 

"Chapter 3" exhibits illustrations of Dante's "Divine Comedy" Heavenly Edition drawn by the surrealist master Salvador Dalí. From the fantastic heavenly world described by Dalí, he dreams of the ultimate state of "totoi".

 

The finale of the exhibition is the "Special Exhibition". An exhibition of original drawings by Katsuki Tanaka, the creator of "Manga Sado", and an original manga drawn for this exhibition are introduced. It is a place where sauna lovers and art lovers can share the "toto" experience of finding "moisture" in their daily lives.
