Seen as an icon of both film and fashion, Audrey Hepburn (1929 - 1993) was known for her appearances in popular movies like Breakfast at Tiffany's and My Fair Lady. Aside from her accomplishments on the screen that saw her win an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, and a Tony Award, her later years were dedicated to working with UNICEF to improve the lives of children around the world.
A special exhibition taking place at Shizuoka's Sano Museum of Art will explore her life through photographs, with approximately 130 pieces on display.
Adult admission to the event is priced at ¥ 1100, and no advance reservations are required.
Getting there
The Sano Art Museum is located under five minutes on foot from Mishima-Tamachi Station, which is served by the Izu Hakone Railway's Sunzu Line.
Alternatively, from the south exit of JR Mishima Station, take the Tokai Bus (bus stop # 4 bound for Ohira Shako) and alight at the dedicated stop for the museum.
