Overview
A museum you can sleep in; artists chose their own sites here and made the works for those places.
About this place
The Benesse House (ベネッセハウス) is an art museum and hotel on Naoshima, an island of Japan, designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando. It opened in 1992 and was an early effort of the Benesse Art Site's activities to revitalize Naoshima into an art haven. Since then, Ando has expanded it and combined it with other parts of the Benesse Art Site, such as the Valley Gallery and the Hiroshi Sugimoto Gallery, both of which were opened in 2022.
