About
The Taro Okamoto Museum of Art is a museum in Kawasaki, in the Kanagawa area of the Kanto Region of Japan. It is devoted to the work of the artist Taro Okamoto, whose avant-garde sculptures and paintings fill its galleries. Its Japanese name is 岡本太郎美術館.
The museum stands in Ikuta Ryokuchi Park, so a visit combines indoor art with a walk among outdoor sculptures set in the park's green space. The address is 7-1-5 Masugata, Tama Ward, Kawasaki, Kanagawa 214-0032.
What to expect
- Paintings and sculptures by Taro Okamoto, shown in a museum built around his work alone.
- Outdoor sculptures placed within Ikuta Ryokuchi Park, which you can see as you walk through the grounds.
- A park setting that suits a slower visit, with room to move between indoor and outdoor pieces.
Planning your visit
The museum is a good choice for anyone interested in modern Japanese art or in sculpture displayed in an open setting. Because the museum sits within a large park, it works well as part of a relaxed day out in Kawasaki.
