Iwasaki Art Museum

Iwasaki Museum & Annex is located in the garden area of a resort hotel in Kagoshima. A Museum, Office Building, and Museum Annex were designed in succession and together form a complex on the site. Each building has a common image, and also a comparable spatial expression incorporating light and dark, Mediterranean and Japanese influences. Modern Western paintings are stocked and exhibited in the Museum, while Japanese paintings and ceramics are housed in the Annex.
