What other travelers are saying about Artizon Museum
In May 2024, I visited the Artizon Museum in Tokyo, and it was such a peaceful and inspiring experience. The museum isn’t huge, but it's beautifully curated with a wonderful mix of classic and modern art. Every gallery felt thoughtfully arranged, making it easy to explore and enjoy each piece at your own pace.
I especially appreciated the calm, quiet atmosphere, it gave me time to truly connect with the artwork. The building itself is modern and elegant, with wide spaces, clean lines, and lots of natural light, which made the visit feel even more special.
The staff were friendly and professional, and there were helpful descriptions in English too, which made the experience smooth and enjoyable. If you're in Tokyo and love art or just want to escape the busy city for a few hours, I highly recommend the Artizon Museum. It’s a beautiful place to slow down and get inspired.
Great collection in a beautifully designed architecture. It is very enjoyable encounter with all the tycoon artists. Only couple minutes walk from Tokyo station, very lovely to be here.
This place is stunning, beautifully designed, world-class work and has Gesamtkunstwerk energy all along. All the spaces are perfectly executed and every detail feels intentional. Absolute recommend, and free (!!) for students if this applies to you. 10/10. (Out of respect to the artists I will only include pictures of the premises, not of the artworks)
Edit: I need to add that the history of the exhibitor and the connection to European artists post WWII made me tear up. Plus, the museum cafe and ship are amazing. I had a fantastic time and left feeling refreshed, moved, and inspired.
This museum is located just a walk away from the Yaesu exit of Tokyo Station. At first, the staff are all friendly. Honestly, the museum itself lack explanation about the location of the exhibition. Indie the building, the museum is apparently placed on the 4th,5th, and 6th floors. We were automatically taken to the 6th floor after the entrance on the 3rd floor by elevator. Even there was no sign written for the "museum entrance" on the 3rd floor but "lecture room" was written there instead. We as foreigners misunderstood the Japanese instructions and missed the 4th and 5th floor exhibition. Although at the end when we asked the staff whether we could re-enter or not, they allowed us, but we feel the hospitality changed. I guess the system of bringing the guest directly to the 6th floor from the 3rd floor is pretty confusing in my opinion.
Elegant modern minimalist & very high end feel museum with decent collections of Impressionism masters’ works.
Also, a room full of Zao Wou Ki’s works, probably worth US$100 million now…
