It is an art museum of contemporary art.
The private house designed by Jin Watanabe (1887-1973) in 1938 in Showa Period (1926-1989) is now used as an art museum. Art works of regular exhibition are dotted. It is impressive to see art works of regular exhibition such as "Time Link" by Toshio Miyajima (1957-Present) in the museum building and "Incomplete Cube" by Sol Lewitt (1928-2007) in the garden.
"The Dream of Polifilo" (from April 19, 2014 (Saturday) to June 29, 2014 (Sunday)) showed the art works by Mr. Nicolas Buffe (1978-Present) that reflected the influence of European art and American and Japanese animation. It was impressive that story started when entering this museum and developed as visitors went forward. It was wonderful that art works and museum were well harmonized. It provided visitors with interesting experiences with augmented reality.
It opened in 1979. It is a middle-sized private art museum at residential area in Kita-Shinagawa, Shinagawa City, Tokyo. Its nearest station is Shinagawa station.
For information, as an annex, Hara Museum Arc designed by Mr. Arata Isozaki (1931-Present) is located in Ikaho Onsen, Gunma Prefecture.
