Your mind may turn upside down and you may begin to see things around you in a completely different way. The world is full of ideas that are different from your own and things that you didn’t know! We would like to introduce works that have turned something a little upside down, as an invitation to the surprise and joy that is the origin of the museum experience – a new world view that spreads from this discovery. ■Gallery 9 [Jiyu area = free admission] Yokohama Museum of Art Collection Exhibition Glass and light

We have arranged our glass collection in an open space where sunlight shines in and you can see the outside scenery. Even the curator of the Yokohama Museum of Art couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow!” when the natural light shines through the work. In the morning and in the evening, from inside the exhibition room to outside, the glass will change its expression in various ways. I would be happy if we could become a spot where people suddenly think about stopping by while taking a walk or shopping. ■Art Library [Jiyu area = free admission] The Art Information Center, which was previously closed, will be moved to the ground floor and will be reborn as a new space filled with bright light.
