Monet's water lilies lit only by the sky. Then a Turrell that made me forget I had a body.

You walk down into the earth and the museum is mostly concrete and silence. Then a room of Monet, lit through a ceiling you can't see, so the paintings change while you stand there. I understood for the first time why he painted the same pond two hundred times.

Also from Tokyo & the islands
