A special exhibition, "Gucci Cosmos," is currently underway at the Kyoto City Kyocera Museum of Art to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Gucci's presence in Japan. The exhibition showcases archival pieces from the Italian fashion house juxtaposed with Japanese art and craft works to create a space that embodies Gucci's history and philosophy. The exhibition includes an "Echoes" installation featuring mannequins adorned in Gucci garments from the 1970s to the present. A silk kimono dress designed by Tom Ford is also on display. The exhibition will run until 1 December.

Another installation themed on leisure and fashion that brings together paintings from the museum's collection for display alongside classic Gucci items is intended to show how the joy of leisure can transcend time and borders. They include: Akiko Niwa's "Golf" from the early Showa Era (1926-1989), which depicts a kimono-clad woman swinging a golf club, and a golf bag adorned with the brand's signature GG pattern; and Kenichi Nakamura's "The Inland Sea of Japan" (1935), which shows women resting at a beachside terrace, and a handbag with marine prints. A collection of Gucci's iconic bamboo-handled bags includes vintage ones reimagined by photographer Daido Moriyama, contemporary artist Nami Moriyama and Morihito Katsura, a metal artist designated as a living national treasure. Other types recreated by Moriyama and Yokoyama were introduced in a show at the Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2025 in September.

The venue is closed on Mondays except for national holidays.
