🎨 [Kanazawa 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art] A glass museum where contemporary art and the city blend together

🎨【21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa】A glass museum where contemporary art and the city blend together

Located right next to Kenrokuen Garden in the heart of Kanazawa, the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, is a mecca for contemporary art that can be said to be a symbol of Kanazawa, with the concept of "a museum like a park that anyone can drop in to".
The round glass building is an open space that people can naturally enter from any direction, and the museum itself seems like a work of art.

🌀One of the most well-known works is Leandro Erlich's "Swimming Pool".
From above, it looks like an ordinary pool. But inside, you can have the strange experience of seeing people "underwater".
When you go inside, you can see outside through the film of water, and the sense of the boundary between art and people becoming blurred is an extraordinary experience that can only be experienced here.

🖼️Not only the permanent exhibition, but also the special exhibitions are unique and innovative. Even if you are not familiar with contemporary art, there are many exhibits that you can enjoy visually and sensorily, and you can have an art experience that you will find "interesting" rather than "incomprehensible".

🌿The grassy square is dotted with public art that you can freely play with. Locals enjoy reading and chatting, children run around, and you can feel that the museum is "part of everyday life".

📍Access: Take a bus from JR Kanazawa Station for about 10 minutes and get off at "Hirosaka 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art"

🕰Opening hours: Exhibition zone 10:00-18:00 (until 20:00 on Fridays and Saturdays)

🎫Admission fee: Varies by exhibition (outside the museum and some exhibitions are free)

A place that changes the image of museums as quiet and stiff.

This is the "entrance to art that you can feel" that you can enjoy alone, with couples, friends, and parents and children.
