Boasting one of the largest exhibition spaces in Japan, NACT is a popular art museum drawing
over two million visitors from around the globe every year, with
diverse exhibitions ranging from worldwide modern and contemporary
art to manga, architecture, and fashion.
In addition to the exhibitions, NACT offers ample ways to pass
the time with three cafes and a restaurant, as well as a shop with
an extensive selection of goods. The photogenic building with its
wavelike "curtain wall" of glass, designed by architect Kisho
Kurokawa, is an attraction in and of itself. Despite being in the
center of the city, the interior is suffused with light and the
green of trees, allowing visitors to experience the concept of "an
art center surrounded by green spaces."
On Fridays and Saturdays, NACT is open until 8:00 p.m. (9:00
p.m. from July to September). It is located in the
sophisticated Roppongi district, a global center for art, fashion,
and dining surrounded by shopping facilities such as Roppongi Hills
and Tokyo Midtown, along with restaurants and hotels.
