Yokohama Museum of Art

An art museum in Minato Mirai that opened on November 3, 1989. The symmetrical stone building was designed by the architect Kenzo Tange, and its Grand Gallery, an open atrium about 16 m high with stepped display space some 63 m wide, is the heart of the open "Jiyu Area" space. Fitting for an international port city, it focuses on modern and contemporary art since the opening of the port, with over 15,000 works in its collection (as of March 2025) and an art library of about 240,000 books.
