“Airports make great exhibition spaces. People often spend long stretches of time there and can be pleasantly surprised to find opportunities to learn something new,” says New York’s Museum of Modern Art curator Paola Antonelli, who has created a collection of art works currently on display at Haneda and Narita airports near Tokyo.

This departure from the usual airport art fare is part of a larger nationwide project titled “Culture Gate,” which is organized by Japan’s Agency for Cultural Affairs and brings together 29 creatives and regional artisans to promote not only Japan’s contemporary art but also its cultural assets. 

For example, on the mainland, Kansai Airport presents manga interpretations of eight areas in southern central Japan, while Chubu Centrair Airport pairs samurai with video and ninja history with digital sculpture. 

Here is a selection of works being shown at Haneda Narita airports for “Vision Gate”:

④ “Kojiki — Amenomanai” by Mariko Mori

⑤ “Day of a Full Moon” by Monika Mogi
