地図 エクスパンション！−西洋古地図を旅する−
平成３０年６月９日（土）～７月２９日（日）
ヨーロッパの地図製作は１６～１７世紀にその隆盛を極め、アムステルダムからパリへとその中心地を変えながら発展していきました。新しい大陸を求めて海へ出た人々によって刻々と更新されていく地図は、人間が知覚している世界が外へ外へと大きく広がっていく様子をリアルタイムで当時の人々に伝えました。また、天文学や地理学の学問的な発展、表現技法の発展により、地図そのものの様相やそこに描かれるものも大きく変化していきます。タイトルのエクスパンション（Expantion[英]）は拡大、拡張という意味を持つ語ですが、地図によって実際の世界が紙の上で拡張していくのにともない、まだ見ぬ世界に思いをはせる人々の想像が広がっていく様子も、地図に描きこまれた様々なモチーフから読み取ることができます。
本展覧会では、おもに１５世紀から１８世紀までに製作された多彩な地図および地図帳約50点を展示します。世界地図の展開とともに、人々の世界観がどう拡がり、変化して行ったのか、地図を巡る旅をお楽しみください。
浮世絵の妖術とモノノケ―「奇術競」と「和漢百物語」―
平成30年8月11日（土・祝）～9月24日（月・振）
美術館が所蔵する浮世絵版画の中から、現代においては漫画やアニメの登場人物として知られる、ヒーローやヒロインたちと敵役となるモノノケたちを中心にご覧いただきます。三代歌川豊国が描く「豊国揮毫奇術競」37枚と月岡芳年が描く「和漢百物語」27枚をすべて展示します。展示する作品の登場人物たちを取り上げる小説や物語の一文とともに、浮世絵版画の世界をお楽しみください。
土佐派と住吉派―やまと絵の荘重と軽妙―
平成30年10月13日（土）～12月2日（日）
本展覧会は、大阪市立美術館（平成29年度に展覧会開催）、堺市博物館（平成30年10月展覧会開催予定）および和泉市久保惣記念美術館で連携して開催する展覧会となります。桃山時代、和泉国上神谷に所領を得ていた絵師集団（絵所預）である土佐派と、土佐派から分派した住吉派に注目する展覧会です。
土佐派と住吉派は、日本固有の絵画技法を用いて絵画「やまと絵」を制作しました。物語や和歌を画題にする作品が多く、豊富な色彩を用いた画面構成が特徴といえます。本展覧会では室町時代から江戸時代にかけての「やまと絵」の流れを概観するとともに、泉州地域縁の絵師として土佐光則と住吉如慶に注目します。

Old Maps; Expansion! Around the World with Ancient Western Maps
June 9, 2018 (Sat.) – July 29 (Sun.)
European cartography began and reached its height between the 16th and 17th century. Map-making was originally centered in Amsterdam and shifted to Paris over time. Maps were progressively updated as explorers crossed the oceans in search of new continents and returned to Europe with new discoveries. Maps represented an evolution of how people perceived the world as they reached outward with their imaginations.
As scholarly advances were made in such areas as astronomy and geography, so too did technological change come, changing map-making in fundamental ways, including the detail of what was represented in maps. The “Expansion" in the title of the exhibit refers to the expanding world as it appeared on paper, and how people were stimulated by the desire to know the unknown—motifs embodied in the world of cartography. The exhibition offers a close look at ancient maps to see how world maps evolved between the 16th and 19th centuries, which can also provide insight into how people’s world views changed during that time.

The Tosa School and Sumiyoshi School—The Majesty and Wit of Yamatoe
October 13, 2018 (Sat.) – December 2 (Sun.)
This exhibition will be held in connection with exhibitions at the Osaka Municipal Museum of Art (in 2017) and Sakai City Museum (October 2018). The exhibition focuses on the Tosa School of painters and the Sumiyoshi School, a later branch in the Momoyama period, both of which had been based in the Izumi area. The two schools were devoted to yamatoe, paintings specializing in techniques derived from ancient Japanese art. Much of the subject matter came from stories and waka poems, and the compositions used rich coloring. This exhibition provides an overview of yamatoe, and how it changed from the Muromachi to Edo periods, with a focus on the painters Tosa Mitsunori and Sumiyoshi Jokei, who had roots in the Izumi region.

Lacquerware—A Fascination with Color and Luster
December 15, 2018 (Sat.) – December 24 (Mon. holiday) and January 5, 2019 (Sat.) – January 27 (Sun.)
Approximately 60 antique lacquerware objects from Japan and China from the museum collection will be on display. There is a long history of handicrafts made with lacquer, dating back to the Neolithic age in China and the Jomon period in Japan. Lacquer dries hard to form a waterproof seal while providing a beautiful luster. For such reasons it was used in a variety of ways—on ordinary vessels for eating and drinking, tea utensils, personal ornaments, stationery, and implements and adornments for temples and shrines. Visitors will see objects made from a single lacquer color, black or vermillion, lacquerware sprinkled with gold or silver dust, even mother-of-pearl lacquerware with bright blues and reds.
