Museum on Echigo-Tsumari, Contemporary art museum in Tokamachi, Japan
The Museum on Echigo-Tsumari exhibits modern artworks in a geometric building with a central pond and surrounding glass-enclosed atrium designed by Hiroshi Hara.
The structure opened in 2003 as Echigo-Tsumari Exchange Center before transforming into MonET through renovations in 2012 and a final transformation in 2021.
The collection includes sixteen permanent installations from international artists, including Leandro Erlich and the Kabakovs, reflecting Japanese traditions through contemporary expressions.
The museum remains closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays except during holidays, with admission fees ranging from 1000 to 1500 yen depending on exhibition periods.
The building incorporates nested rooms following traditional Japanese architectural principles, creating spaces that separate the interior from external environments through concrete and glass.
