A special Tokyo Fuji Art Museum exhibition, “Love, Life and Fellowship: Masters of Western Paintings,” opened at the Fukushima Prefectural Culture Center in Fukushima City, Fukushima Prefecture on September 29. Fukushima Governor Yuhei Sato and other dignitaries attended the opening ceremony.
The event, which was hosted by the Fukushima Minpo newspaper in commemoration of its 120th anniversary, featured works by Millet, Renoir and Van Gogh. It was held as a Fukushima prefectural initiative to promote the arts and culture in the aftermath of the devastating 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake.
Admission for children under the age of six was free. The exhibition will run until November 4, 2012.
