About
Housed almost entirely underground, this unique museum is a striking architectural marvel that looks like wind-blown bamboo from the outside. Inside, you'll find a world-class collection of post-war contemporary art, featuring both international masters and leading Japanese artists. It is a must-visit for design lovers seeking a quiet, thought-provoking escape in the heart of Nakanoshima island.
Insider Tip
Combine your visit with the Osaka Science Museum next door, and enjoy a scenic riverside stroll along Nakanoshima afterward.
