collaboration between the artist and designer Hideki Toyoshima (the duo is termed YNG) that encourages audience engagement. Structures are built from scrap materials and patched together; a creaky wooden hallway on the second floor transforms the otherwise white-walled gallery into a haunted house of the artist's work. On the museum's third floor, Untitled (formerly Home), 2010, presents a series of ramshackle shelters with candy-colored rooms, and individual or small groupings of works can be encountered throughout.

Walking through the Narnia-like installation of stuffed dolls and a slideshow of Nara's photographs feels deeply personal - a fitting impression from an artist who has said that "each individual can see my work with his or her own unique, imaginative mind." Hanging in an odd corner is a round wooden painting on which a diminutive girl and her guitar declare, "I will rock you." Indeed.
