Show your bear🐻🐻‍❄️ and get a discount!! "Toyama Prefectural Museum of Art"

Toyama Prefectural Museum of Art has a "Bear Discount" named after the "Bear" by sculptor Atsuhiko Misawa, whose work is a permanent exhibit and symbolizes the museum! If you bring bear goods or items with bear designs, you can get a discount on the admission fee to the special exhibition. The discount amount varies depending on the special exhibition, but it can sometimes be as much as 300 yen cheaper! This means that if you go to the Prefectural Museum of Art, you'll have no choice but to bring a "bear" with you 🧸💕 Since 2000, Atsuhiko Misawa has been creating his "ANIMALS" series of sculptures, featuring animals such as elephants and giraffes 🧸 Using camphor wood, his almost life-size carved and painted wood sculptures evoke memories and images in the viewer, giving off an overwhelming presence 🌲 Recently, he has also been trying his hand at making imaginary animals such as unicorns and kirin 🦄✨
If you walk west from the foyer, you will find one white bear indoors and three in the outdoor plaza 🧸 They are all different sizes, and the largest white bear is quite large! Please come and see them! ♬
