Last update :

Minatomirai District has a school, Minatomirai Gakuen. On its campus, there is an art museum with glass art, which was mostly collected by the founder of the school, Teruhiko Tsurumi.

Although compact, the museum currates a top class collection such as the captivating work of Art Nouveau and Art Deco period artists, Émile Gallé, René Lalique and Daum Brothers. The museum has a unique history - because President Tsurumi believed “Dentistry technicians need artistic sensitivity,” and “Dentistry skills and glass artistry share something in common,” he was showing the glass artwork to the dental students at his school.

It is not open regularly but special exhibitions are held two to four times a year on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (weekends only). Make sure to check details on the website.
