Pavilion for Japanese Art, Modern art museum building in Los Angeles, US
The Pavilion for Japanese Art spans 32,100 square feet with translucent fiberglass panels that filter natural light through its distinctive triangular walls and cylindrical towers.
Architect Bruce Goff designed his final public building in 1988, incorporating collector Joe Price's vision of displaying Japanese art under natural light conditions.
The East Wing exhibits rotating collections of screens and scrolls from the Edo period, while the West Wing presents Buddhist sculptures, ceramics, and traditional armor.
The Raymond and Frances Bushell Netsuke Gallery displays 150 miniature sculptures that rotate every three months, allowing visitors to examine pieces from all angles.
The building features specialized exhibition spaces with varying observation distances that replicate traditional Japanese viewing environments for art appreciation.
