The museum is a unique blend of traditional Japanese architecture and modern design, making it a fascinating destination for art and architecture enthusiasts.

Showcasing the Work of Tadanori Yokoo

The Teshima Yokoo House is dedicated to showcasing the work of its namesake, the Japanese artist Tadanori Yokoo.

This provides a unique opportunity to experience the artist's work in a setting designed to complement and enhance it.

A Unique Blend of Old and New
