Nagi Museum of Contemporary Art

Nagi Museum of Contemporary Art, Contemporary art museum in Nagi, Japan.

The Nagi Museum of Contemporary Art is a contemporary art museum in the town of Nagi in Okayama Prefecture. It contains three exhibition spaces named Sun, Moon, and Earth, with each space hosting large-scale art installations.

The renowned architect Arata Isozaki designed the building and collaborated with multiple artists during its creation. It opened in 1994 and marked a turning point for site-specific art museums.

The museum shares its name with the town and combines art exhibitions with a public library, giving both functions a shared home. This mix shows how art and learning are understood as part of daily community life here.

The museum is located at 441 Toyosawa in Nagi-cho and offers barrier-free access for all visitors. Parking facilities and audio guides are available to help you make the most of your visit.

This was the first site-specific art museum of its kind in the world, where artworks extend beyond traditional gallery confines. The installations use the entire space and surrounding landscape rather than fitting into conventional walls.
