An architectural masterpiece by Tadao Ando
The Chichu Art Museum, one of the finest masterpiece of infamous Japanese architect Tadao Ando, is almost entirely built underground.
The permanent collection is small but carefully curated, with pieces of James Turrell (whose work revolves around light and perception), Walter de Maria, and finally Claude Monet (five of whose Water Lilies series can be admired in a room specially designed for them), and a garden designed to resemble Giverny, Monet’s former town.
