The National Art Center, Tokyo

ArchitectureArtClosed · Opens 10amFreeNogizaka Station (Chiyoda Line, Exit 6 — direct connection)

Inaugurado em 2007, em Roppongi, The National Art Center, Tokyo (NACT) não possui coleção permanente própria – em vez disso, as suas seis amplas galerias recebem grandes exposições itinerantes, retrospectivas com obras cedidas por instituições como o Louvre e o Musée National Picasso-Paris, além de centenas de mostras anuais promovidas por associações de arte abertas ao público. O edifício, última obra concluída do arquiteto Kisho Kurokawa, é conhecido pela fachada ondulante de vidro, concebida como um “museu numa floresta”. Com cerca de 14 000 metros quadrados de espaço expositivo, é o maior espaço dedicado à arte do Japão.
