This 2022 exhibition will present, on special loan, works by more than fifty artists andcollectives that were exhibited in The Corning Museum “New Glass Now” show in 2019 andsubsequently added to its collection. These works, gathered from around the world through open

About Toyama Glass Art Museum

1011

With the grand vision of creating a ‘Glass Art City, Toyama’ Toyama Glass Art Museum opened inAugust 2015.
Toyama Glass Art Museum was built in TOYAMA KIRARI, a composite facility, which is also occupiedby the Toyama City Public Library Main Building. As the Art Museum is located in the city centre ofToyama City, it not only serves as a hub of art and culture, but it also plays a role of generating new
attraction for the city centre.

Kengo Kuma, a world- renowned architect, designed this building. The Exterior of the building
resembles the ever-changing Mt.Tateyama, and was built with a combinationof different materials,

such as granite, glass, and aluminum. The interior, on the other hand, makes full use of louvers thatuse materials from Toyama Prefecture to create an atmosphere of warmth and openness.

The museum holds Permanent Exhibitions, such as the Collection Exhibition showcasing thecontemporary glass artwork collected by Toyama City. In the murals of the display rooms and thelibrary, there is the ‘Glass Art Passage’ that displays artwork from artists associated with Toyama.
On the 6th floor, there is the ‘Glass Art Garden’ that displays installations by the studio of the great
master of con- temporary glass artwork, Dale Chihuly. In this museum, a variety of art styles are
introduced with a focus on contemporary glass artwork after the 1950s.
