Chichu Art Museum, Underground contemporary art museum in Naoshima, Japan.
The Chichu Art Museum structure extends beneath a hillside, incorporating natural light through strategic openings to illuminate artworks in its concrete chambers.
The Fukutake Foundation established this museum in July 2004, integrating it into the land to preserve the natural landscape of the Seto Inland Sea.
The permanent collection includes Claude Monet's Water Lilies series, James Turrell's light installations, and Walter De Maria's Time/Timeless/No Time geometric forms.
Access to the museum requires advance reservations through the official website, with entrance fees ranging from 2500 to 3000 yen depending on the day.
The Chichu Garden contains 200 plant species matching those at Giverny, creating a living connection to Monet's artistic inspiration.
