Japan Travel | Kanazawa | An Irresistible Instagram-Famous Art Museum

This art museum, designed by SANAA, consistently exhibits the architectural lightness and sense of suspension that are key characteristics of Kazuyo Sejima's work. The building is highly transparent both inside and out, not only serving as an art museum but also welcoming every citizen to enter. It is rare for an entire art museum to present a complete circular shape, which is intended to allow everyone to enter the museum from any point, rather than just finding the front entrance. Inside, the different exhibition halls are enclosed by boxes, creating a very interesting layout. Among the permanent exhibits in the museum, the most famous is 'The Swimming Pool'. This piece can be viewed not only from the land but also by entering the pool itself, offering a magical, inverted experience. It is also the most Instagrammable spot in the museum. Note that the number of visitors allowed each day is limited, so it's advisable to go early to reserve a visit.
