After hot cocoa at a puppy play-date cafe ft. a quartet of dachshunds, and lunch at Lazy Diner in downtown Daegu, we hopped on the subway towards the southeast corner of the city. The Daegu Art Museum is currently exhibiting A Dream I Dreamed, with a collection of over 100 works by Yayoi Kusama. Pieces include paintings, screenprints, installations, and sculptures that take up two floors of space. I was especially excited for this one and our visit did not disappoint. Definitely not one to miss! The exhibition runs until November 3rd.

| Ladder to Heaven - you have to walk up close to this one to appreciate it; the ladder went on infinitely from top to bottom because of its mirrors on either end |

The DAM grounds are picturesque. Walking out into the crisp pre-fall air was the perfect way to end our gallery visit.

This works out to be the best segue into OF x JAPAN. I've organized my August Tokyo trip by neighbourhood and will start to post them soon, promise. I'll leave you with this quirky little video.
