First Exhibition
What makes these prints as “art” ?

Admission Fee

Information about the exhibition
"We present a range of works, from renowned artists' creations to those that will make you wonder, "Is this really a print?", centered around the collection of the Machida City Museum of Graphic Arts. 'Why is this considered art?' 'Is printmaking even art to begin with?'—Why not enjoy the museum while pondering these various questions?" [from the museum site]

Free

Information about the exhibition
The exhibition showcases approximately 40 lithographs by Honoré Daumier (1808-1879), a prominent satirical artist of 19th-century France. These works resonate with contemporary society, exploring themes such as world fairs and overtourism, swimming in the Seine, and women's social activities." [from the museum site]
