Exhibition Highlights 1:
First presentation of the entire series in Asia

This landmark exhibition was brought about by a connection between the National Gallery of Art, Washington and the Miho Museum, in that both buildings were designed by the world-renowned architect I. M. Pei.
Exhibition Highlights 2:
A crucial page in the global history of modern art exhibitions!

The exhibition focuses exclusively on this series of 15 paintings, the first to do so since the The Stations of the Cross was first presented nearly half a century ago at the epoch-making Guggenheim Museum exhibition of the same name in 1966.
Exhibition Highlights 3:
A golden opportunity to encounter the paintings in a sublime and contemplative environment

The exhibition of these paintings at the Miho Museum, home to a large amount of sacred art of the ancient world, is a golden opportunity to encounter these masterpieces in the sublime and contemplative environment that, across the world and down through the centuries, only great art has been able to produce. As such this exhibition is expected to be the focus of global attention.
