A special exhibition at Niigata's Niitsu Art Museum looks at the works of Swedish artist Lisa Larson, who is known for her warm and simple Scandinavian-inspired ceramic pieces. Around 200 pieces will be displayed from various points throughout Larson's career, along with a collection of items from artists who inspired her such as fellow Swedish designer Stig Lindberg.
Adult admission to the event is priced at 1000 yen, and no advance reservations are required.
