The Teshima Art Museum 豊島美術館

An unforgettable museum

The Teshima Museum will provide you with the most exceptional contemporary art experience in Japan. The very concept of the museum is unique, and difficult to describe. One thing is certain, you will not come out indifferent.

After a marked walk, which overlooks the coast and runs along the hill, you will reach the museum itself. You have to take off your shoes to enter the room. Once inside, you will realize that the museum has no glass, but two oval openings on the outside . These openings let in not only the wind, but also the sounds and light that invade the structure. The borders then become blurred between the exterior and the interior, the two spaces seeming to form one within the Teshima museum. On the ground, admire the minimalist work of Rei Naito, "Matrix" : water flows slowly, as if in slow motion, towards the center, depicting the birth of life. Immerse yourself in this unique atmosphere because each visit is different, the scenography changing with the seasons, of course, but also throughout the day . You can stay as long as you want, before resuming the walk that will lead you to the exit. The number of entries per day is unlimited . Try to avoid busy days or times, in order to experience a more intense moment.

The bet is therefore successful: art, architecture and nature are one and the same within the confines of the Teshima museum , which also mixes poetry and Zen experience. If you only have time for one museum on Teshima Island, this is the one to choose.
