Established in 1995, the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo (MOT) serves as a hub for the study, collection, preservation, and exhibition of contemporary art. Its collection of over 6,100 works places particular emphasis on post-war Japanese art.
The museum also undertakes a wide range of projects that engage with the latest developments across diverse artistic fields to reflect the current state of contemporary practice.

Sep 5 – Dec 13, 2026
This exhibition reexamines how modernity was received and developed in Japan and Taiwan through art, film, literature, and music. Inspired by a film about the Le Moulin Poetry Society, a modernist poetry group formed in 1930s Taiwan under Japanese rule, it brings expressions across eras, regions, and genres into resonance, revisiting modernity from a contemporary perspective.
