Japan U.S. Creatives will host a guided tour of the exhibition Storytelling in Japanese Art  at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York followed by admission to the exclusive Members Dining Room with a beautiful view of Central Park for lunch .  

Japan has a long and rich history of pairing narrative texts with elaborate illustrations—a tradition that continues to this day with manga and other popular forms of animation. Featuring more than sixty works of art in a range of mediums and formats, this exhibition invites you to explore myriad subjects that have preoccupied the Japanese imagination for centuries—Buddhist and Shinto miracle tales; the romantic adventures of legendary heroes and their feats at times of war; animals and fantastical creatures that cavort within the human realm; and the ghoulish antics of ghosts and monsters.

Lunch is prix fixe a 3 course brunch for $46 per person plus a complimentary drink and is not included in ticket price.  As an alternative the Museum cafeteria is open, but is often very crowded on the weekend. 

After the lunch you are free to explore the Museum at your leisure for the rest of the day. 

Please come to join us to start the new year at this beautiful exhibition and enjoy our first event of 2012. 

Since attendance is limited please make a reservation and we look forward to seeing you there.
