in a Unique Space Harmonized with the Garden and Surrounding Nature
The museum, which is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its opening, has a circular exhibition room for Claude Monet’s Water Lilies in the Underground Jewelry Box annex designed by Architect Tadao Ando. You can reach the room by going through the corridor that connects the over 100-year-old main building named “Oyamazaki Villa” to the semi-subterranean annex.
Throughout the year 2026, which marks the 30th anniversary of the opening of the museum, all eight Monet paintings in the possession of the museum will be on exhibit together for the first time in 10 years. They are five Water Lilies paintings and three other paintings including Japanese Bridge, which constitute one of the major collections of the museum.
