An open and accessible contemporary art museum where you can enjoy modern art casually
The 21st Century Museum of Art, Kanazawa is a contemporary art museum built on the concept of "a museum like a park open to the city." Its circular building features glass walls throughout, allowing entry from any direction with an open, welcoming design.
Leandro Erlich's "Swimming Pool" is the museum's most popular artwork. Looking up from the pool's bottom, you can see people reflected through the water's surface—a fascinating optical experience. With many Instagram-worthy installations, you can enjoy the museum even without art expertise.
