MUSEUM MONUMENT TO FRIENDSHIP AND ITS METAPHORSThe open-air museum celebrates the friendship between Japan and the state of Minas Gerais and what this relationship was able to build out of concrete and immaterial. The project is a bridge over a lake. The bridge metaphorically connects territories, times, ideas and ideals.

The route starts from symbolic Japan planted with cherry trees to Minas dos Ipês-Brancos. Leonarto Finotti Celebrating Japan and Minas, c... Más
