The First "VOLVO x ART" Project



Located in the "Ura-Bandai" area of Fukushima Prefecture, the Morohashi Museum of Modern Art is famous for housing a vast collection of works by Salvador Dalí, one of the 20th century's most celebrated artistic geniuses. The collection, comprising 341 pieces including paintings, sculptures, and prints, is considered one of the top three Dalí collections globally, alongside the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Spain and the Dalí Museum in Florida, USA.



Meanwhile, Volvo Car Japan, the Japanese subsidiary of the Swedish automaker Volvo, has launched the "VOLVO x ART" project to support unique museums and art galleries across the country. For its inaugural initiative, Volvo has partnered with the Morohashi Museum of Modern Art, leading to this special event.
