The National Art Center Tokyo

10 Best Museums in Tokyo | Condé Nast Traveler

"Housed in an undulating concrete-and-glass structure designed by pioneering Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa, the National Art Center, Tokyo is one of the country’s largest contemporary art showcases. At any given time, the museum features four rotating exhibitions spread across 150,700 square feet and 12 galleries. This ever-changing space is the polar opposite of a stuffy, moldering museum and an essential stop for lovers of Japanese art and architecture. Combine your visit with a trip to the nearby Mori Art Museum or the Suntory Museum of Art for a culture-packed day. Free, centrally located, and always featuring something new, this museum is as much for Tokyo residents as it is for foreigners." - Diana Hubbell
