Excellent, small museum devoted to Ukiyo-e. In depth exhibitions focusing on a specific theme or artist. Utagawa Kuniyoshi’s work was on display when we visited in October. The size of the museum provides enough space for the exhibition to explore the subject in detail. Exhibitions change monthly. Allow about an hour to see everything. Small bookstore on the ground floor and gift store on the lower ground floor. The museum is located just a few metres off of Omotesando and less than 5 minutes from Harajuku Station and Takeshita Dori.

This lovely contemporary art museum in the Hiroo district was a fine art experience. The galleries are well laid out and the artwork was interesting and impressive. They have a small cafe, clean restrooms, small gift shop, and it's pretty easy to find. Definitely worth a couple of hours viewing the the beautiful artworks.
