About
Modern & large-scale displays of Japanese & international art in a circular, glass-walled building.
The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa is one of the most visited and architecturally discussed museums in Japan, designed by SANAA as a circular glass building without a main entrance — treating every direction as equally welcoming. Permanent works by James Turrell, Leandro Erlich, and Olafur Eliasson are among the collection, and the building itself is as important as what it contains. A museum that has become a model for how contemporary museums can engage their cities.
