Appreciate the Artizon Museum collection at home
As mentioned several times on the Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog, on January 18, 2020 (Reiwa 2), the Artizon Museum, which was predecessor of the Bridgestone Museum of Art, was reopened in Museum Tower Kyobashi.
According to the official website of the Artizon Museum, "Artizon" is a coined word that combines "art" and "holizon: Horizon", and many people feel the "ground" of art that opens up the times. It seems that the intention to want you to feel it is put. Also, I think they are expanding the "ground flat" of the collection, including impressionist, modern Japanese Western paintings, and contemporary art.
To prevent the spread of COVID-19 infection, the Artizon Museum is temporarily closed as of May 1, 2020 (Reiwa 2), but the collection page on the official website is very easy to understand, so you can enjoy each work at home.
Warm-up at Google Arts & Culture
In addition, the Artizon Museum is one of the partner museums of the Google Art Project, so you can also enjoy a typical collection (54 works) on the Google Arts & Culture site.
The notation of "Artizon Museum" on the Google Arts & Culture site remains the predecessor "Bridgestone Museum of Art", and the work commentary appears in English first, but it can be converted to Japanese notation by one-click Google translation. In addition, Google's unique point is that you can search and appreciate works created at the same time and visually similar works from the partner museum collection with one click, as well as works by the same artist.
Modern Japanese Western paintings and newly added contemporary art (such as Zao Uoki's "07.06.85") stored in the former Ishibashi Museum of Art, including Shigeru Aoki's "Umi no Sachi", are not covered, but after the reopening the Artizon Museum I think it is ideal for warming up Atama and Kimochi to enjoy more diversely.

By the way, the Artizon Museum has a designated date and time admission system, and in principle, admission tickets are to be purchased on the web reservation ticket purchase site before visiting the museum. If the web reservation ticket is not sold out, you can purchase the ticket at the museum window, but even on the day (for example, just before), the ticket fee is cheaper and cheaper.
We are looking forward to the reopening of the Artizon Museum while preparing for it at home.
