Nagi Museum of Contemporary Art

Three groups of artists were commissioned to create giant works, and the entire space was turned into architecture, making this the world's first public museum in which artworks and the building are semi-permanently integrated. It consists of three exhibition rooms named "Sun," "Moon," and "Earth." The cylindrical exhibition room "Sun" displays works by leading Japanese contemporary artists Shusaku Arakawa and Madeline Gins, which can be viewed in a mysterious, slanted space. Architect/Completion year: Arata Isozaki/1994 Visits and photography: Photography is permitted in the exhibition rooms.
