Last update :

This museum has no art collection of its own, instead it hosts various exhibitions featuring art from both within Japan and from abroad.
The museum spans a vast 14,000㎡ area, divided into 12 exhibition rooms, an art library, a restaurant, 3 cafés, and the museum shop.
The building itself was designed based on the concept of “an Art Center surrounded by green spaces,” and is worth stopping by even just for its wavelike glass facade.

Highlights

  • Varied exhibitions not restricted to a single genre, from art masterpieces around the world to Japanese manga.
  • The art library has specialized books related to art.
  • The restaurant “BRASSERIE PAUL BOCUSE Le Musée” also serves dishes that are made in collaboration with exhibitions.
  • The museum shop “SOUVENIR FROM TOKYO” also sells Tokyo-esque designed items that are perfect for gifts and souvenirs.
  • Experience the forefront of Japanese art.

    美術館的設計非常獨特,充滿了現代感,外觀呈現出鋼和玻璃的結構,並以其獨特的波浪形屋頂著稱
    來這除了欣賞其精彩的藝術收藏,也可以還看此獨特的建築風格。

    若喜歡藝文真的很推薦來此,因為沒有自己的藝術品,所以可以展覽各式各樣藝術品,若逛累了,可以來這裡喝杯咖啡,享受一下優閒的時光!
