Temporary exhibitions

 

Finally, it should be noted that this museum regularly organizes major temporary exhibitions, which are very popular with the inhabitants of Osaka. They can be concerned with Japanese or Asian art as well as European. For example, the museum has already organized exhibitions on Van Gogh, or even on Vermeer, in the spring of 2019. For the occasion, the museum is loaning some of the greatest masterpieces of the masters.

In 2018, the exhibition "The art of portraiture in the collections of the Louvre" was also held within its walls, a traveling exhibition produced in partnership between Japan and the famous museum.
