Museum of Modern Art, Kamakura & Hayama

The museum operates across two locations, with the Hayama facility showcasing international contemporary works and the Kamakura Annex displaying Japanese modern art collections.

Founded in 1951 as Japan's first public modern art museum, the institution pioneered innovative exhibition methods and cultural programming throughout the post-war period.

The museum maintains a collection of significant artworks from Japanese and international artists, including Henri Matisse's Jazz series and Yuichi Takahashi's Enoshima painting.

While the Hayama building undergoes renovations until March 2025, visitors can access the Kamakura Annex, which remains open Tuesday through Sunday with special exhibitions.

The waterfront Hayama building incorporates large glass panels and geometric shapes, creating natural light interactions with the exhibited artworks throughout different times of day.
