Teshima Art Museum

豊島美術館

Teshima Art Museum is on Teshima Island in the Seto Inland Sea. It unites the visions of artist Rei Naito and architect Ryue Nishizawa, who designed its droplet-shaped building. Its permanent work, "Matrix", dates from 2010. Visitors take off their shoes in some spaces and enjoy the art quietly, without cameras.
