MOMA in Japan

Not only is there a MOMA (Museum of Modern Art) in Japan, it's in Saitama, of all places. I don't know enough about Saitama to knock it much, but it is more suburban and even rural in some parts. Some people, namely bored teens and snobby Tokyoites, call it "Da-Saitama" combining "dasai" (which means "boring") and the name of this prefecture.

So a MOMA here rather than somewhere in central Tokyo was a big surprise. And even more surprising: it's in the middle of a park--one that's quite lovely and verdant, by the way.

I barely took a few steps into museum corridor, but didn't go further because I only had 10 or so minutes left of my lunch break and I wanted to walk around the park a bit.

Sorry for the multiple posts, but I haven't yet figured out how to upload multiple photos to a single blog post.
