An art center with impressive architecture and one of the largest

Although it does not maintain a permanent collection, this museum hosts a variety of exhibitions and disseminates art-related information, making the most of one of the largest exhibition spaces in Japan. It hosts special exhibitions in diverse genres, from historic Western paintings to contemporary art, manga, fashion, and design. The building distinguished by its unique exterior with a beautiful wavelike glass curtain wall was designed by the architect Kurokawa Kisho, famous for projects such as the Nakagin Capsule Tower Building. Entry is free (exhibition admission fees are determined for each exhibition), and visitors have access to the restaurant, cafés, art library, and museum shop.
