BUNKAMURA / A Landscape Exhibition from Wien

I am delighted to offer an art centre called BUNKAMURA located in the heart of Shibuya.
Tokyu Corporation is one of the most influential conglomerates in Japan.　The main business of Tokyu is a public transport service: Denentoshi Line,Toyoko Line,　Meguro Line and Bus services. And Tokyu has many affiliated companies; Tokyu Housing,　Tokyu Agency, Tokyu Hotels, Tokyu Department Store, etc.




Bunkamura was established in 1989 by Tokyu Corporation as the first large-scale cultural complex in Japan. Since its opening, Bunkamura's creative space, comprising a concert hall (music), theatre (performance), museum (art), and cinema (film), as well as a café and art-related shops, has always drawn attention as a base for introducing new cultural pursuits. Bunkamura attracts 2.8 million visitors annually and is a popular spot in Shibuya where people can enjoy a range of cultural and artistic experiences in a relaxed atmosphere.




The Genesis and Development of Landscape Painting from Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien Wed. September 9 - Mon. December 7, 2015

The Kunsthistorisches Museum owns numerous art works that originated in the collection of the Hapsburg family as the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. This splendid collection of the Empire includes many attractive European landscape paintings such as 17th century Dutch and Flemish works of art that produced the first landscape paintings independent from other subjects in the history of European art. This exhibition shows the history of European landscape paintings whose background includes stories of Bible and myths, and gradually became established as an independent genre while being connected with the subjects such as seasonal workings and pastoral lives, from its origin to development. Approximately 70 works were chosen for this exhibit, with a focus on 'landscapes' among the paintings owned by Kunsthistorisches Museum.
