Hokusai & Ukiyo-e: The Floating World
An Immersive Experience Bringing Japan’s Shogun Era to Life
Now Through Sept. 21, 2025 | Cleve Carney Museum of Art
(Times vary per day. See available dates/times.)
The “Hokusai & Ukiyo-e: The Floating World” exhibition vividly recreates 17th-century Japan, offering visitors an immersive journey through detailed reconstructions, interactive experiences, hands-on activities, and historical displays. Step back in time to Edo (modern-day Tokyo), when the city thrived under shogunate rule as Japan’s cultural and economic center, celebrating the arts, nature, and the pleasures of everyday life.
The multi-faceted experience centers around the world-class presentation of a 60-piece collection making its U.S. debut, featured as “Museum Galleries – Chiossone Collection” in the exhibition. The collection features 53 paintings and woodblock prints by the masters of ukiyo-e, including original works by Hokusai, Hiroshige and their contemporaries, and 17 handcrafted objects.
The Cleve Carney Musem of Art is located on the College of DuPage campus, just west of Park Boulevard in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. Parking is free in any of the lots.
