The National Art Center, Tokyo, "Treasures of Turkey" exhibition.
I like exotic patterns like Moroccan tiles,

Topkapi Palace seemed to be a luxurious palace anyway,
Joke-sized gems are not limited to jewelry, but "water bottles."
The exhibits are introduced a little on the website of this exhibition.

Each exhibition room is separated by partitions cut in a curved pattern.
I enjoyed the cute tile-like patterns on the walls.
During Golden Week, an event where you can dress up in Turkish costumes and have your photo taken
For those who prefer to relax in Tokyo, why don't you visit as if you were on a mini trip abroad?
By the way, "Vienna Modern" is being held one floor below.
A Golden Week of museum-hopping is a good idea.
