Mori Art Museum director Fumio Nanjo believes that art and creative thinking hold the key to solving the problems of the future. But how to create a city that is open and accepting of art?
One of the answers, according to Nanjo, is to facilitate ways for art to be shown to the public. That means establishing museums that are accessible and in tune with the latest artistic developments.
"Establishing an art museum is complicated," he said, "because it must be designed and configured so that it actually suits the local society."
