Museum City Fukuoka '98 is a contemporary
art exhibition held one month in downtown area of Fukuoka city by "Museum
City Project", a non-profit organization with cooperation of citizens,

/ residents opportunities to rediscover the unknown charm of the city
and possibility of art through unexpected encounters with art work artfully
installed in common urban environments. This exhibition is a development
of the series named "Museum City Tenjin" held every two years since 1990,
but it expands its area to cover Hakata area as well as Tenjin, and explores
new strategy to communicate with viewers and residents, through "Art Picnic",
"Artist in Residence", and "Info- Cafe". |
