On May 2, the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum hosted a lecture by Dr. Megan Laverty, associate professor of philosophy and education at Teachers College, Columbia University. She spoke on philosophy and art appreciation, and the role museums play in educating the public on art. Yukiko Noguchi, a media interpreter for CNN and public TV network NHK, interpreted the lecture. Following the lecture, participants gathered before works on Napoleon Bonaparte on display at a TFAM permanent gallery to discuss the pieces based on what they learned from Dr. Laverty.
