The Kanagawa Museum of Modern Art Hayama will hold a special lecture by Tadahiro Sakai on August 15, 2026, in connection with its collection exhibition ‘Kamakura Modern Art Museum’ and ‘Showa Art’. The museum says the talk is part of programming for the exhibition, which commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Showa era.

Sakai is identified by the museum as a former director of the institution and as an art critic. The lecture will take place at the museum’s hall in Hayama, with doors opening at 1:45 p.m. and the talk scheduled from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The event is limited to 60 attendees and admission will be on a first-come, first-served basis on the day of the lecture. The museum states that no advance reservation is required and that participation is free of charge.

According to the museum’s event page, the lecture is linked directly to the collection exhibition ‘Kamakura Modern Art Museum’ and ‘Showa Art’, which is being presented at the Hayama venue. The museum frames the exhibition as a Showa centenary project, though the event notice does not provide additional details about the exhibition’s contents beyond that connection.

The museum’s listing places the event at the Kanagawa Museum of Modern Art Hayama in Hayama, Japan. The venue information and access details appear on the institution’s official site, which also identifies the event as part of its ongoing exhibitions and events programme.

The lecture will be held in the auditorium at Kanagawa Museum of Modern Art Hayama on August 15, 2026, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., with 60 seats available and free entry.
