Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens’ cultural director Tom Gregersen will be stepping down from full-time exhibit curating and cultural guidance of the organization after 35 years of service. Before he says “Sayonara,” however, he would like to share some favorite objects from the museum’s treasure vault with the audience that has graciously supported his efforts over the decades. From art to unusual objects of everyday living, this exhibition will explore the meaning of each object and what it has to say to Gregersen about Japan, while presenting the personal stories of adventure and triumph that lie behind them all. Some objects will be seen for the first time, while others are old friends. All reveal a culture that is dynamic, design-conscious, and imaginative.
