About
Airy museum featuring contemporary paintings, sculptures, photos & installations, plus sea views.
Benesse House Museum on Naoshima is Tadao Ando's 1992 museum-hotel — a building that integrates contemporary art installations, paintings, and sculptures into a living space where guests can sleep among the works and wake to a permanent collection that includes pieces by Bruce Nauman, Walter De Maria, and Richard Long in a setting where the Seto Inland Sea is itself part of the exhibition.
