A giant Lego wave sits at the center of the MFA’s new Hokusai exhibition. Hokusai: Inspiration and Influence opens March 26 and runs through July 16. . This center room juxtaposes the master’s “Great Wave” print with a myriad of works inspired by it. You’ll notice an iconic Lichtenstein just opposite the case. #igersboston #mfaboston #hokusai #ukiyo #lego (at MFA Boston) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqQmXTSOaR5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
