The Museum of Modern Art, Wakayama
Museum in The Wakayama area
In July 1994, the Museum of Modern Art moved from the Wakayama Culture Center to the new building near the Tenshukaku. Designed by architect Kisho Kurokawa, the unique architecture creates an interesting contrast with the Wakayama castle. The museum has a spacious lobby, a hall for lectures and film screenings, a museum shop, and a restaurant.
