[Tokyo] Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum Reopening Commemorative Exhibition "Absence" — Toulouse-Lautrec and Sophie Calle 📍 Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum
Celebrating its reopening, the Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum presents Absence — a collaborative exhibition between Toulouse-Lautrec and Sophie Calle. Centered around Lautrec’s works, the exhibition explores the themes of "absence" and "presence," reflecting on human psychology and the passage of time.
