MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART TOKYO
The Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo opened in 1995 as the city’s first institution for the research, collection, preservation, and display of contemporary art. The museum’s exhibition program features cutting-edge expressions by Japanese and international artists working in contemporary art, fashion, architecture, design, and other fields. Displayed across two floors of dedicated gallery space, the MOT collection comprises over 6,000 works of art, including major works of 20th-century Japanese art, with a focus on the art of the postwar years. The museum has the largest specialty library of its kind in Japan, housing over 280,000 books, catalogues, and periodicals on modern and contemporary art. Its education program engages people of all ages through an active calendar of guided tours, lectures, and workshops.
