<NYに世界最大のバンクシーミュージアムOPEN>

The mysterious street artist Banksy

Banksy Museum exhibits the world's largest collection of 160 pieces

Opening on May 15, 2024 in the Soho area of Manhattan, New York!

Speaking of Banksy,
Although based in the UK,

A mysterious artist who appears out of nowhere one day, suddenly leaving behind his works all over the world.

Expressing serious realities such as war and peace, social and political messages through humor and satire.

The message and the location of the painting,

There are pros and cons,

The work is

They have disappeared in conflict zones, or they have been erased without permission because they were drawn without permission, or they have been quickly removed without a trace for the purpose of resale...

All the works that were erased or removed

Several selected talented artists have created life-size replicas

It is being exhibited in New York, with a street atmosphere intact.


I think most of Banksy's works are viewed on small screens such as smartphone photos,

It's amazing that you can see everything here in life-size.

If you come to NY, this is a must see!

< Banksy Museum NYC >
277 Canal Street, New York, 10013

10am - 8pm
Adults $30

<NYの新名所ハドソンヤードのシンボルやっと再開>

One of the new attractions in New York after the coronavirus pandemic is

Hudson Yards is a district in west Manhattan where buildings tower like a futuristic city.


In the center is the "Vessel" that was released in 2019.

Its unique beehive-like design made it an instantly popular symbol.


Then shortly after that, coronavirus hit

During the strict curfew in New York

As people continued to take their own lives in this deserted building,

It closed in 2021.


This vessel that I had only seen from the outside

Finally!
Before long

It was announced that it will reopen after iron fences have been installed to ensure safety.


We will let you know again when the opening date is announced.

Meanwhile,

Within 20 minutes of the earthquake

"I survived the NYC earthquake"

●The “Harlem Renaissance Exhibition” is being held at the Metropolitan Museum (MET) on Fifth Avenue in NY●

After the emancipation of slaves from the 1920s to the 1940s, African Americans migrated from the southern United States in search of freedom.

Black culture will bloom in Harlem, NY.


There are 160 paintings, sculptures, videos, photographs, etc.!


I was surprised by the unique use of colors and touches.

While thinking about the historical background that I always talk about with Deep on my Harlem tours.

You can't help but experience the freedom and splendor of art.



It was so wonderful that people praised it and said, “It should be installed permanently!”


This event is open until July 28, 2024!

I want to go five more times, no, I want to see more.
