The National Art Center is a unique and innovative art facility. In addition to maintaining its permanent collection, it holds several temporary exhibitions on its 14,000 square meter exhibition space, the largest in Japan. The museum building is an example of great modern architecture, but the real gem is in the basement, where your dream museum gift shop is located. The items are of high quality and have been selected to attract buyers of all ages and budgets. The Center also promotes awareness activities through its educational programs, and the Art Library collects and disseminates information related to art.
