Tama Art University Museum

The Tama Art University Museum is an art museum on a university campus in Ochiai with several exhibition spaces for contemporary works and student art. It regularly displays rotating shows of different art forms and artists.

The museum began in 1964 as a small reference library for artworks and grew over the decades. It moved to its current building in Tama Center and developed into a modern exhibition venue.

The museum displays works that explore different artistic perspectives through collaboration between local artists, researchers, and international guests. Visitors can see how these partnerships shape various approaches to contemporary art.

The museum sits near Keio Tama Center Station and is open most weekdays. Plan a visit in the late afternoon to enjoy the exhibitions without rushing, since opening hours end in the early evening.

The museum works with former curators who actively contribute to the contemporary art scene. These ongoing connections bring different perspectives to how exhibitions are shaped and programs are developed.
