This is the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art located on the coast of Kobe. It was opened in 2002.
The major collections are foreign and Japanese sculptures and prints, Western-style and Japanese-style paintings associated with Hyogo Prefecture, etc.
The building of the museum is a modern, concrete construction by a famous architect Tadao Ando.
I just took pictures and enjoyed a cup of coffee at the cafe inside without looking at any exhibits.
Really handsome concrete!!

Very unique architecture. I always like spiral staircases.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful modern architecture, Annie. Museums are particularly suited to displaying good architecture as it must be a work of art that houses even more works of art inside it!
