The National Museum of Art, Osaka
Last update
The only national museum of art that primarily collects works of contemporary art
Located on the waterfront of Nakanoshima, Osaka, this is a completely underground museum, a rarity worldwide. The building designed by Argentinian-born American architect César Pelli was inspired by the vitality of bamboo and the evolution and growth of contemporary art. Unique objects greet visitors. The collection consists of around 8,200 works, with a focus on contemporary art from Japan and overseas since 1945. In the collection exhibitions, artists and works that are important in talking about contemporary art are introduced with appealing themes.
