Go for the architecture, not the art. This is not your typical museum - aside from special exhibition, the main collection (free entry) was entirely devoted to what appeared to be amateur art associations from across Japan. It wasn't all bad - about 1 in 5 pieces were interesting - but the majority was apeing western art and about high-school quality. We might have been just unlucky - the main collection appears to rotate, so perhaps we just caught a particularly bad set. The diorama of a unicorn and a dalmatian was particularly hilarious, but there's only so long you can spend ironically enjoying this, and there are far, far better places to spend your time in Tokyo! Unless you're interested in the special exhibit, consider skipping it.

The art center is huge with up to 3 floors, with vast exhibition rooms. I went there to visit Henri Matisse Special Exhibition, which was hosted in Japan for the first time after 1950, and it is truly one of the greatest exhibition with many art pieces involving life of the artist, including the replica of the cathedral with the glass windows, the artist designed. There was also an outdoor exhibition, titled the Forbidden Fruit, by Reijiro Wada. This sculptural installation work crystallizes the fundamental themes of life and time as a landscape, integrating elements of architecture and gardens. The architecture of the building itself is also very modern and stylish, it is highly recommended for art lovers!

I recently visited The National Art Center Tokyo, primarily to catch the Saint Laurent exhibit, which was of particular interest to my wife, a designer herself. The experience was impressive, both in terms of the exhibit and the architecture of the museum. The museum's architecture is striking – it boasts large open spaces that are a marvel in themselves, showcasing exceptional design. This made the experience of exploring the exhibits all the more enjoyable. The Saint Laurent exhibit was particularly impressive, showcasing a range of pieces that my wife found incredibly inspiring. From what I understood, the collection on display was quite valuable and well-curated. Inside the museum, there's a great spot to grab a coffee, offering a nice break amidst the exploration. Despite spending several hours at the museum, I suspect we only saw about half of it. The National Art Center Tokyo is quite expansive, and there's a lot to take in. We're already looking forward to our next visit. For anyone interested in design, fashion, or art, The National Art Center Tokyo, especially with its special exhibits like the Saint Laurent one, is a fantastic destination. It's not just a museum; it's a space that truly celebrates creativity and innovation.

Gallery is huge but,but. For me it missing spirit. There ware huge rooms with art but it felt so sterile. There are much better galleries in Tokyo that this. Sorry :(. But there are tho restaurants. Use that one at -1F food is good and relatively cheap.

I enjoyed every exhibition. Some were free and some had a fee but it was just around 500-700 yen. You can also take pictures inside so it was quite nice. The cafes inside have relaxing vibes, perfect for a quick catch up!
