What other travelers are saying about 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art
Modern art, photography and classical art exhibition in one dome. Access the pool attraction requires a reservation in advance along with your ticket and a ~20 minute wait if you book in time. There is parking available on site. There is also a cafe serving local noto beef, western and Japanese delicacies. And top off with a garden.
The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art is an absolute gem! The art is incredibly cool and diverse, offering something truly unique at every turn. I visited on a weekday, so it was wonderfully quiet, and I practically had the entire museum to myself. One of the highlights was definitely the pool – having it almost all to ourselves was such a special experience. It felt like we were immersed in the art, really connecting with the installations in a way that's hard to do when it's crowded. Each exhibit had its own wow factor, and I loved how the different installations interacted with the space. The museum’s design itself was also fascinating, adding another layer to the whole experience. Overall, it was an unforgettable visit, and I’d definitely recommend going if you ever have the chance!
definitely need to buy tickets in advance. Missed out the chance to see the pool. But the outdoor art pieces are fun to watch. The architecture of the museum itself is cool too
There were plenty of interesting contemporary art on display throughout the museum and I really enjoyed how some of the works encouraged interaction from the visitors, allowing you to truly experience the artwork as you're formulating your individual interpretations. Aside from the exhibitions themselves, there are also a few installations scattered around the exterior of the museum for you to explore. As it's a relatively popular location, expect a short wait before procuring your tickets.
If you're looking to go into the pool, do come early to reserve a slot as is pretty popular with a relatively long wait time.
This is a more busy museum so the prices are higher than the other museums in the area. There are works outside and some works in the free area on the edges of the building. The permanent exhibition is quite short so you pretty much must get the ticket for all exhibitions. The works themselves were, quite what'd you expect for a contemporary art museum. Very nice staff and great venue.
