A new museum will open on the art island of Naoshima in 2025. Although the official name has yet to be announced, the structure will be designed by architect Tadao Ando and will mark his 10th museum on the island.
The ‘new museum’ will consist of 3 floors—2 underground and 1 above ground—and will be dedicated to contemporary Japanese and Asian art. In addition to just a museum, the structure will also function as a collaborative space for workshops and and other collaborative programs between locals and visitors.
Other Museum on Naoshima designed by Ando include the Chichu Art Museum and, most recently, the Valley Gallery. This new museum will reportedly also serve the purpose of linking the many art facilities on the island and creating a more integrated experience between nature and the local village.
