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

I have been to Hayama many times, but this time I had a wonderful encounter. This is the Kanagawa Prefectural Museum of Modern Art Hayama, which celebrates 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, it's an exhibition by Finnish architect Aalto, who is celebrating his 120th birthday. I enjoyed his work in a space with high ceilings and plenty of sunlight.
A comfortable chair! It makes me want to sit for a long time.
I was able to experience Scandinavian culture with all five senses while watching and feeling it.

There are works by Isamu Noguchi at the entrance of the museum, and the open air is comfortable. You can feel refreshed while breathing in the fresh air. The weather was perfect, so we enjoyed the feeling of being on vacation while looking out at the ocean.

When I look at pictures of Aalto, I notice his big, thick hands. I think it sounded good when I played the piano!!
The sound of a piano changes depending on the space in which it is placed. I was reminded once again of the importance of buildings and spaces, as the mood of the performer and the sound of the instrument change depending on the building.

The sea in Hayama was also sparkling.
