The National Art Center, Tokyo
One unique aspect of this museum is that it does not have its own collection. Instead, it hosts a wide variety of special exhibitions and open-call exhibitions in one of the largest exhibition spaces in Japan, spanning 14,000 square meters. The museum also engages in diverse activities such as providing venues for art organizations, collecting, displaying, and providing art-related materials, and implementing educational outreach programs.
The National Art Center, Tokyo serves as a forward-thinking space that offers diversity and inclusivity through "art," fitting for an international city like Tokyo. It carries a mission to contribute to the creation of new culture from a perspective of mutual understanding and coexistence through art.
Through these multifaceted activities, the National Art Center goes beyond the role of a mere museum, strongly establishing itself as an art center. Visitors from both inside and outside the country can encounter new art and engage with a variety of values and cultures in this vibrant space.
