The paintings in the Museum continue to be readily sought for exhibition in Japanese museums. In April 2010 the 12th Japanese exhibition opened, in this case an exhibition consisting solely of 61 paintings from the Museum entitled "Woman in European Art". This exhibition will be shown in 6 cities in Japan over the course of some 18 months.
For 2011 we are planning to participate in an exhibition in Japan entitled "The Birth of Impressionism", which will include 12 paintings from the Museum and run for about 1 year. It is anticipated that museums from France and the United States of America will participate in this exhibition as well.
