The exhibition explores Eastern and Western art from ancient times through to the present. It begins with human endeavors - maps of the world - and then moves through four different provinces of happiness - "Arcadia", "Nirvana", "Harmony" and "Desire" - before concluding its journey with paintings of the stars, the infinite, immesurable spaces of the Universe.
Featuring around 250 works by roughly 180 artists, the work in the exhibition traverses Japanese and Asian Classical art from the 6th century to the 19th century, early Western modern art, including Romanticism and Impressionism right up to contemporary art made throughout the world today. A number of new works have been specially commissioned for this exhibition that is one of the largest ever to contain such diverse genres on a single theme.
