Matsudai Nohbutai, Art museum in Tokamachi, Japan
The Matsudai Nohbutai building integrates into the landscape with stairwells that function as viewing rooms, displaying numerous art installations throughout its structure.
Dutch architectural firm MVRDV designed this museum in 2003, marking their initial project in Asia and establishing a new center for agricultural and artistic expression.
The museum presents forty artworks across two kilometers, featuring installations by Ilya Kabakov, Yayoi Kusama, and Pascale Marthine Tayou within rice paddies and natural settings.
Museum admission costs 1200 yen for adults and 600 yen for children under fifteen, with operating hours from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, excluding Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
A red spiral staircase leads visitors to a rooftop deck offering views of art installations placed among traditional rice paddies dating back one thousand years.
