Snake Museum of Contemporary Art, Contemporary art museum in Iwaki, Japan.
The Snake Museum of Contemporary Art is an art museum in Iwaki that displays contemporary works along a 99-meter corridor. The exhibitions integrate indoor spaces with outdoor areas where cherry trees and natural elements form part of the experience.
Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang established this museum in April 2013 as part of a larger cherry tree planting project in Iwaki. Its creation was tied to the vision of weaving art and nature together within a public space.
The exhibitions feature works created by students from local elementary and junior high schools in Iwaki. These young artists regularly contribute their creations to the museum's artistic program throughout the year.
Access to this museum is free and it remains open daily from sunrise to sunset. Public transportation from JR Iwaki Station makes it convenient to visit.
A tree swing stands as a focal point on the grounds, linking the art space with surrounding nature. This playful element shows how the project encourages movement and interaction with the landscape.
