About this place

The National Art Center, Tokyo (国立新美術館, Kokuritsu Shin-Bijutsukan) (NACT) is a museum in Roppongi, Minato, Tokyo, Japan. Opened in January 2007, it is one of the five institutions of the Independent Administrative Institution National Museum of Art. Designed by architect Kisho Kurokawa, it was final completed project before his death in 2007. Unlike the other national art museums, NACT does not maintain a permanent collection but instead functions as flexible venue hosting temporary special exhibitions and exhibitions organized by public art associations.
