Toh Gen Kyo vol.21 - MIHO MUSEUM

Storytelling: Tales Hidden within the Artworks
-Every Sunday from 2 p.m. during exhibitions (times subject to change)
In the South Wing Lecture Hall

Learn about our museum’s artworks through stories reconstructed from legends and myths related to these objects. Our volunteer staff employs sounds and images to narrate legends of Egypt, Greece, and China. These approximately thirty-minute sessions bring to life the art of antiquity.

Special summer programs will be held on July 27 and August 3. Details will be announced shortly.
Open the door to the world of stories! Participation is free.
