Ikeda Museum of 20th Century Art
Set beside the scenic Lake Ippeki, the Ikeda Museum of 20th Century Art opened in 1975 as Japan’s first full-scale museum dedicated to modern art. The building was designed by sculptor Takekichi Inoue, known for creating public artworks installed at numerous public facilities, including the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. Its stainless-steel exterior gives it a striking, futuristic appearance. Inside, the organically connected layout from entrance to exit creates a space that allows visitors to immerse themselves in the world of the artworks.
Most of the pieces here are from the 20th century, and there's a really diverse range of styles, so you never get bored. The flow of the exhibition is smooth and the space is bright. Taking your time to walk around is super relaxing.
