The new exhibit, “Modernism in the Picture Book: Art and Daily Life” shows some of the excellent picture books produced in the period between the end of World War I and the outbreak of World War II. In those days, new art movements emerged in different parts of the world and expanded the scope of the arts, directly reflecting the daily lives of ordinary people and changes in society.

In this exhibit, ten picture books which reflect Modernism are now available with sound clips of reading or commentary on the works and our original BGM.
