3751 - Nagoya, Aichi, Japan

An art card, but I cannot tell you anything about it as the description on the back is in Japanese. Maybe it came from the Nagoya/Boston Museum of Fine Arts when it was open. This museum operated from 1999 to 2018. It was created as a sister institution of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. It opened in 1999 in a 4700 square meter space. The first show was a survey of the Barbizon School, Impressionist and post-Impressionist paintings from 62 works including Monet, Gauguin, and Van Gogh.  Low visitor numbers later forced it closure in October 2018. The final exhibition was entitled In Pursuit of Happiness: Favourite Works from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston,  was held from July 24 to October 8 2018.
