ANDO Museum in the Honmura district of Naoshima


 
ANDO Museum is one of the newest permanent additions to Naoshima, opened in the spring of 2014. The exterior looks like a traditional house commonly seen in the island but inside stands Ando's concrete. Besides the slanting concrete slab, Ando's two significant works are introduced inside: the Church of the Light and the Row House of Sumiyoshi. The museum uses only natural light; thus the light does a magic as it changes all the time. Under this glass cone lies basement. Go down there to find out how the basement let light in.
