Exhibition overview
From the vast collection of more than 450 works boasted by Poland's John Paul II Museum, 61 works will come to Japan with the theme of "women", which is essential when discussing Western painting. This exhibition focuses on the images of gorgeous women from three perspectives: ``Mother and Child,'' ``Myths and Legends,'' and ``Portraits.'' We will explore how the great masters of the era, such as Rembrandt and Goya, depicted women, and what women and beauty meant to people at the time.
Chapter 1 Mother and child
Introducing works that feature the Christian Virgin and Child and mothers and children based on it. A wide range of works are depicted, from works depicting divinity drawn in the Middle Ages to works depicting close-knit parents and children that are relevant to the present day. At the root of all of this is love for family.
Chapter 2 Myths and Legends
Works depicting passages from Greek and Roman mythology and scenes recorded in the Christian Bible have long been ranked at the top of the history of Western art as history paintings. The women who appear in these stories appear in the paintings in various forms depending on the imagination of the author.
Chapter 3 Portraits
Portraits, which were symbols of wealth and power, gradually began to be created for ordinary citizens, and the portraits of people depicted in them give us a glimpse of the fashionable clothing and lifestyle of the time. There were also women depicted dressed as mythological characters. Please pay attention to not only their techniques but also their costumes.

About Palace Huis Ten Bosch
Under the special approval of the Dutch royal family, the exterior of the palace where King Willem-Alexander resides has been faithfully recreation. The Baroque garden that extends to the rear is a revival of a "phantom garden" that was designed in the 18th century but never realized. It is a must-see spot that can be said to be the essence of Huis Ten Bosch, which pursues the real thing.
Palace Tea Salon
A tea salon located inside Palace Huis Huis Ten Bosch, recreation of a Dutch palace. Enjoy Yuga tea time after admiring art at the museum or strolling through the baroque garden.

Glass Museum
"Giyaman", which comes from the Dutch word for diamond (DIAMANT), is a word used in the Edo period to refer to glass products. Inside the baroque-style building, there are many elegant glass works collected from all over the world on display, and the world's largest chandelier in the hall's atrium is a must-see.
Porcelain Museum
From the middle of the 17th century, Imari-yaki pottery was exported to Europe by the East India Company, and since then it has been very popular in Europe and has been treasured as a furnishing item. Along with the footprints of such exchanges between the East and the West, this museum of ceramics exhibits many works of art. The "porcelain room" where about 3,000 items are displayed in one place is a masterpiece.

Many works with high rarity value are lined up, as well as products made by German company Steiff. Also, the giant bear with a sitting height of 3.6m is very popular as a photo spot.
