The great advantage of the Osaka Nakanoshima Museum of Art is its innovative architectural design and the concept of an "open museum." The black rectangular exterior is eye-catching, and the interior features a spacious atrium "passage" that stretches from the first to fifth floors, making the museum itself a work of art. This passage creates opportunities for visitors to freely interact and experience art.

The building was designed by architect Katsuhiko Endo.

The museum also houses a vast collection of modern and contemporary art, including works by artists with ties to Osaka, and visitors can view works on various themes, mainly through special exhibitions.
The museum has a collection of over 6,000 pieces, mainly representative art and design works from Japan and abroad.

The museum also has a cafe and museum shop, so you can spend a fulfilling time before and after viewing the art. Photography is only permitted in public spaces.

[Trivia]
The building was designed by architect Katsuhiko Endo and is known as the "black cube."

[Hidden gem]
This is a great photo spot where you can feel the grandeur of the building as you look down from the open atrium on the fourth floor.
