What other travelers are saying about 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art
This is a great modern art museum for regular people (none art major). Exhibits are down to earth and easy to appreciate. There are many art objects outdoors as well. Entrance feeds are super reasonable (1400 yen for adults and 100 yen for seniors). There is a nice cafe inside as well.
It’s a very interesting museum with a unique exhibition. The outside is open to the public, as well as some exhibits in the outer layer of the museum. The inner part of the museum is where they charge ¥450. The pool is cool but if you’re looking to take pictures “inside” , expect to wait 1hr approx to enter. (You can leave and come back to enter).
It was fine albeit the free permanent exhibitions are quite small. Still a nice space to explore for all ages and escape the summer heat. I do love the design of the museum, circular and winding. Some interesting pieces.
Most people probably come for the pool - so be aware to book a timeslot for entering the pool. Otherwise you might have to wait for three hours or more. If so - you can leave the museum and come back at your timeslot. Entry was pretty cheap with around 300¥.
Unfortunately the rest of the museum was only halfway opened - however we were told about this at the entrance
Nice art museum even though a little crowded. I still liked the variety of art that was exposed. If you’re in Kanazawa and are interested in art, I would recommend a stop by. But I wouldn’t recommend coming here only because of the museum as it was a smaller museum.
