Hara Museum ARC
原美術館ARC
A black wooden museum designed by Arata Isozaki, housing contemporary art and traditional Japanese and East Asian antiquities moved from the Hara Museum in Tokyo.
Hara Museum ARC stands beside Ikaho Green Bokujo and was designed by architect Arata Isozaki, opening in 1988. Its black timber galleries and lawn sculptures make a striking contrast. After the Hara Museum in Tokyo's Shinagawa district closed in 2021, its collection and events were consolidated here. The focus is contemporary art, alongside traditional Japanese and East Asian antiquities collected by Rokuro Hara. The lawn features works by Andy Warhol, among others, and the café overlooks the pasture. Admission is charged. The museum is closed on Thursdays and at certain times in winter.
Opening hours
Approx. 09:30–16:30 (closed Thursdays; extended closures in winter)
