Nakanoshima Museum of Art
Osaka City’s long-awaited museum of modern art and design—the Nakanoshima Museum of Art, Osaka—is finally opening in Feb. 2022 on Nakanoshima, the island at Osaka’s core that symbolizes Aqua Metropolis Osaka. Three decades have passed since the museum’s planning office was set up in 1990, during which time the vision for the museum has changed in keeping with the times. As the new museum comes to life in the twenty-first century, we contemplate its current and future role in Osaka, in Japan, and in the world.
