Animals, of course, are no exception to this tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Modern craft has explored a vast range of animal expressions, from exquisite figurines that realistically mimic the forms of their subjects to distinctive patterns that boldly reimagine animals by emphasizing the inherent qualities of the materials. The variety of creatures depicted is equally broad. In addition to classical motifs such as the twelve animals of the East Asian zodiac, the collection includes works featuring exotic creatures like elephants and leopards, as well as familiar beings such as birds and insects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Focusing on these animal motifs, this exhibition showcases approximately eighty works from the museum\u2019s collection, tracing the presence of animals in craft and design from the modern period to the present day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"information\">Hours &amp; Admissions<\/h2>\n\n\n<dl class=\"momat-dl\">\n    \n<div class=\"momat-dl__item\">\n    <dt class=\"momat-dl__heading\">Location<\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"momat-dl__content\">\n        \n\n<p>Crafts Gallery, The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/dd>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"momat-dl__item\">\n    <dt class=\"momat-dl__heading\">Date<\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"momat-dl__content\">\n        \n\n<p>July 5 \u2013 September 4, 2005<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/dd>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"momat-dl__item\">\n    <dt class=\"momat-dl__heading\">Time<\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"momat-dl__content\">\n        \n\n<p>10:00-17:00<br>*Last admission is 30 minutes before closing.<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/dd>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"momat-dl__item\">\n    <dt class=\"momat-dl__heading\">Closed<\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"momat-dl__content\">\n        \n\n<p>Mondays (except July 18 ), July 19<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/dd>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"momat-dl__item\">\n    <dt class=\"momat-dl__heading\">Organizer<\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"momat-dl__content\">\n        \n\n<p>The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/dd>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","exhibition_type":[210],"exhibition_year":[351],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>From Inspired from Creatures: Fun with Museum Collection \uff08\u5c55\u89a7\u4f1a\uff09- National Crafts Museum<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/craft-museum\/en\/exhibitions\/h17-02\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"From Inspired from Creatures: Fun with Museum Collection \uff08\u5c55\u89a7\u4f1a\uff09- National Crafts Museum\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"About the Exhibition Throughout the development of modern craft and design, Nature has consistently served as a primary source of inspiration.
