From June 11, the exhibition, “Vehicles in Photography: The Evolution of Transportation Modes,” opened for public viewing at the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum’s No. 7 Permanent Gallery. Drawn from some 20,000 prized photographs belonging to our museum’s collection, “Vehicles in Photography” follows the evolution of transportation captured through a camera’s viewfinder—from horses, camels and steam locomotives to automobiles, aircraft and spacecraft—and with it, the ever-expanding worldview of humanity itself. Among the exhibition’s highlights are pictures of Orville and Wilbur Wright’s nascent flights into the air by William Preston Mayfield and stills of the Space Shuttle Challenger provided by the US space agency NASA.
