Not yet, but I'm hoping to go soon! How long did it take you to go through just the Hokusai exhibit?

[–] itadakimasu 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think we took about an hour, which I think is on the high end. We're big Hokusai fans so we took our time. Id say expect 30-60m

Seems like a good length. I'm guessing we'll take closer to an hour as well since I usually end up trying to read all the plaques :P

I was there 2+ hours and didn't think it was enough time. I can't fathom doing it in under an hour and actually looking at everything and reading about it. I am planning to go back to see what I missed the first time.

Yes! I had to look up when the large exhibition was. 2015.

Trying to schedule it, but the summer is crazy busy.

Thanks for posting this - I hadn't heard about it. Definitely planning on going. Exhibit details for others planning on going.

It's amazing especially if you like ukiyo-e style art!

I do! I'm really looking forward to it - hoping for this weekend or next. I don't get over to the MFA or the Gardner very often, so I'm looking to make a day of it and spend some time enjoying works I haven't seen in years.
