■Cherry Blossoms at Hara Museum ARC
Visitors to Hara Museum ARC during the Golden Week holidays (midApril to the beginning of May) can expect to enjoy the beautiful
blossoms of a variety of cherry trees that grow on its expansive
grounds 500 meters above sea level at the foot of the Haruna
Mountain Range. A great many people are drawn to the museum at thistime to enjoy the beautiful contrast presented by the light pink petals
against the dark tones of the museum's buildings designed by ArataIsozaki. We hope you can come and treat yourself to this spectacle ofcherry blossoms, along with the many large-scale art installations scattered over the wide expanse of the museum
grounds.
