Το The National Art Center, Tokyo (NACT), που άνοιξε το 2007 στη Roppongi, δεν διαθέτει δική του μόνιμη συλλογή· αντίθετα, οι έξι ευρύχωρες αίθουσές του φιλοξενούν σημαντικές περιοδεύουσες εκθέσεις, αναδρομικές εκθέσεις με έργα σε δανεισμό από ιδρύματα όπως το Louvre και το Musée National Picasso-Paris, καθώς και εκατοντάδες εκθέσεις που διοργανώνονται κάθε χρόνο από ενώσεις τέχνης και απευθύνονται στο ευρύ κοινό. Το κτίριο, το τελευταίο ολοκληρωμένο έργο του αρχιτέκτονα Kisho Kurokawa, είναι γνωστό για την κυματοειδή γυάλινη πρόσοψη-υαλοπέτασμα, σχεδιασμένη ως «μουσείο μέσα σε ένα δάσος». Με εκθεσιακούς χώρους περίπου 14.000 τετραγωνικών μέτρων, αποτελεί τον μεγαλύτερο χώρο τέχνης στην Ιαπωνία.
