Not the most popular 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa - Winning in the details

#Sign up for May Hotel Test Sleeper 2025 The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, with its simple and smooth lines and transparent sense of space, won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2004. It is a 20-year-old museum but it is still very trendy. The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art is not just an exhibition space, but more like an art park that integrates into urban life. It faces the street on three sides, so anyone can easily walk in. Anyway, the outdoor exhibitions are free permanent works. The entire outdoor space is a large lawn, and it is said that outdoor weddings have been held here. Before it became an art museum, this place was an elementary school. The trees planted by the elementary school students when they graduated are now preserved, like traces of time, continuing to accompany Kanazawa. One of the most famous permanent works of the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa is the "swimming pool". This was originally a popular check-in point, but you need to draw a number plate before entering the pool (taking underwater photos of visual games) and limit your stay time. Compared to the interactivity of the outdoor permanent works, the theme exhibitions in the museum are surreal contemporary art views, think out of the box.
