Hiroshima Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA)

About 20 minutes walk from our hotel is the MOCA, one of the best spots in town to consume some contemporary art. Opened in 1989, the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art is the first public art museum to devote exclusively to contemporary art in the whole of Japan. It is situated amid the rich greenery of the Hijiyama park, commanding sweeping views over the city. The museum building is of design by the architect Kisho Kurokawa.
Some pieces of the permanent exhibition:

The temporary exhibition was Tintin Wulia: Things-in-Common. The major inpacts on Wulia's art originate on her being of ethnic minority Chinese-Balinese origins, as well as the disappearance of her grandfather during the Indonesian mass killing of 1965-66. Having experienced being discriminated since her childhood, Wulia has been interested in boundaries that people created and the wars that people wage to keep these boundaries in place. She has communicated these through multidisciplinary installations and video works.
