For the next exhibition of its growing collection, the Museum of Contemporary Art presents recent acquisitions including new works by Anish Kapoor and Yoshitomo Nara. The show is divided into three parts. The first focuses on works from the 1960s to ’80s including an iconic Warhol Marilyn Monroe canvas. The second introduces 20th century Japanese abstract painter Toshinobu Onosato, and the third recent acquisitions. While you’re there, take in Tokyo Wonder Wall (until June 17)—a selection of pieces by emerging artists that began in 2000.

Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, until Oct 8 (listing).
