Art Aquarium Castle-Kyoto Goldfish Dance
This fall, an event called “Art Aquarium Castle-Kyoto Goldfish Dance-” is being held at Nijo Castle. The Art Aquarium is a traveling exhibition of the “Art AQUARIUM Museum” in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, and the sight of goldfish and Nishikigoi swimming leisurely in a lotus, cherry blossom, and folding screen tank is very fantastic.
Nijo Castle is the only outdoor exhibition, and you can enjoy it with all five senses with the addition of faint lighting, projection mapping, and incense. One of the highlights is that the Ninomaru Palace courtyard, which is normally closed to the public, is the setting for the exhibition.
