What other travelers are saying about 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art
The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art is an absolute gem! The art is incredibly cool and diverse, offering something truly unique at every turn. I visited on a weekday, so it was wonderfully quiet, and I practically had the entire museum to myself. One of the highlights was definitely the pool – having it almost all to ourselves was such a special experience. It felt like we were immersed in the art, really connecting with the installations in a way that's hard to do when it's crowded. Each exhibit had its own wow factor, and I loved how the different installations interacted with the space. The museum’s design itself was also fascinating, adding another layer to the whole experience. Overall, it was an unforgettable visit, and I’d definitely recommend going if you ever have the chance!
This is a more busy museum so the prices are higher than the other museums in the area. There are works outside and some works in the free area on the edges of the building. The permanent exhibition is quite short so you pretty much must get the ticket for all exhibitions. The works themselves were, quite what'd you expect for a contemporary art museum. Very nice staff and great venue.
I really love the idea that they let kids observe and draw living sea cucumbers. The arts are bigger than the name. They are good arts! Go! Definitely worth the price. Their cafe is also very good.
The 21st century Museum of Contemporary Art has a range of exhibitions that rotate throughout the year.
We went at a time when one of the exhibitions included a musical documentary, about the way in which American products have been incorporated into the Japanese people’s daily lives. This was excellent.
The museum is centrally located in Kanazawa near the major Gardens. There are also a range of features outside of the museum if you don’t want to get a ticket
The pool, in the centre of the museum, requires you to entry waiting list, however it is worth the wait for the photos.
This is a great modern art museum for regular people (none art major). Exhibits are down to earth and easy to appreciate. There are many art objects outdoors as well. Entrance feeds are super reasonable (1400 yen for adults and 100 yen for seniors). There is a nice cafe inside as well.
