Ends in 65 days
In 2019 Japan and Finland commemorated their 100th year of friendship and cooperation, and part of the celebration was an exhibition for Finnish architect Alvar Aalto at Gallery A4 in Tokyo and the Takenaka Carpentry Tools Museum in Kobe. Continuing the festivity this year, “Aino and Alvar Aalto: Shared Visions” is being shown at the Setagaya Art Museum until June 20th. This special exhibition extensively documents the collaborative work of this husband and wife pair who has left a tremendous mark not only on Scandinavian architecture but on worldwide design as well.
