Experience the blue sky and sea at the Kanagawa Prefectural Museum of Modern Art, Hayama

I've been to Hayama many times, but this time I had a wonderful encounter. It was the Hayama branch of the Kanagawa Prefectural Museum of Modern Art, which celebrated its 15th anniversary this year. What an open and wonderful space!
This is an art museum where you can experience art while feeling the blue sky and blue sea.

This time, we visited an exhibition of Finnish architect Aalto, who is celebrating his 120th birthday. We enjoyed his works in a space with high ceilings and plenty of sunlight.
Such a comfortable chair! You'll want to sit in it forever.
By watching and feeling, I was able to experience Nordic culture with all my senses.

The museum entrance is home to works by Isamu Noguchi, and the open air is very pleasant. Breathing in the fresh air really refreshes you. The weather was perfect, so I enjoyed the view of the ocean and felt like I was on vacation.

When I look at photos of Aalto, I notice his big, thick hands. I imagine that if he played the piano, it would have produced a great sound!
The sound of a piano changes depending on the space it is placed in. The architecture also affects the performer's mood and the sound of the instrument, so I was reminded once again how important buildings and spaces are.

The sea in Hayama was also sparkling.
