It's bigger than what I expected for the contemporary art, but Iike it. And for the price of the ticket, it's worth it !! It's part of the park so it is even more convenient and a good café/restaurant is near (5 min walk approximately)

Famous artists like Kusama, Dali and Miro have exhibits here along with local artists like Atsushi Suzuki (the Family Forest installation was thought provoking!). There may be other ongoing featured exhibiti...
