From Origin to Future. Opening Exhibition for the Naoshima New Museum of Art by Tadao Ando

Architect Tadao Ando has designed the Naoshima New Museum of Art, the latest addition to the Benesse Art Site Naoshima project in Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. This marks Ando's tenth contribution to the site and the first museum to bear the island's name. The museum will open on May 31, 2025, with an inaugural exhibition featuring works by twelve artists and groups, including both longtime collaborators and newer voices. The building, which includes one above-ground floor and two basement levels, features a large roof integrated with the hills and a cafe overlooking the Seto Sea.
