Art and architecture enthusiasts should not miss the chance to visit The National Art Center, Tokyo. The center, opened in 2007, is noted for being an empty museum, meaning it doesn’t feature a permanent collection. Admire the imposing modern building, designed by Kisho Kurokawa and boasting a striking wavy glass facade. Step inside to admire the interior of the building, view one of the popular temporary displays, or check out the gift shop, restaurant, and cafe.

Loved this museum. I came here for this special exhibition of spinning crocodiles. The exhibit was free and I loved who weird it was. After that I got a great lunch from the top floor French restaurant. I then we to two more galleries on the top floor. One I had to pay ¥500 and the other was free. Both had really cool and varied art. The building is also incredible to look at. Very open with lots of natural light.

One of the scene from the famous hit movie in japan, “Your name” is taken at this museum. There are a cafe at each floor. Also, there’s an art library at the third floor. Mainly in Japanese. Reviewed this at 2018. Now here’s the new one. Still classy. Elegant. And photogenic! I recommend you for the visit. But because of the coronavirus pandemic, there’s some time changed for its opening time. So just have to pay some attention.
