Teshima Yokoo House

Located near Ieura Port, this art museum combines three renovated Japanese houses showcasing eleven two-dimensional works through a sequence of indoor and outdoor spaces.

The museum opened in 2013 as part of the Setouchi Triennale exhibition, transforming traditional residences into contemporary exhibition spaces under Benesse Art Site Naoshima initiative.

The museum integrates Tadanori Yokoo artworks with architectural elements by Yuko Nagayama, exploring themes of life and death through color and spatial arrangements.

The museum operates daily from March through November between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with adjusted winter hours and admission fees of 520 yen for adults.

Red-tinted glass panels throughout the structure modify natural light and transform visitor perspectives as they move between exhibition areas and the stone garden.
