A 20 minute walk from our hotel got us to the Toyama Glass Art Museum where there was a special small exhibition of Chihuly. I love the stuff.
The rest of the exhibit space was devoted to other glass artists, many local.
The building itself, designed by Kengo Kuma, was quite spectacular with open spaces on all levels. Seems unusually large and well funded to be devoted to glass art. Back in the early 2000’s, there was a move afoot to make Toyama a creative glass center for Japan. The museum was certainly busy enough so maybe the founders succeeded.
