It hs different sections where you can roam around. The special exhibit is the only one with fee it is at the right side of the reception. I think the special exhibit will only be available for few months not really sure. There is a place where you can read books, not so many things to see but I would say it is well organized and divided. You may also buy souveneir inside. Receptionists are also kind and polite. You wont hesitate to ask if you are a foreigner who could not speak Japanese. On the other hand, displays on free area are only written in Japanese. I asked the personnel if I could take photo of description to translate it and it was fine. The exhibit was really pretty and you have wide selection of souveneirs you could purchase.

Well this was a very meaningful visit for me. They have an exhibit which features an artist that did some photography on the rooms of people - after their death - who lived alone. I really wasn't struck as much by the photography as I was by something I read in the description of the artist's work. "What is the difference between 'solitude,' 'isolation,' and 'independence?'" particularly knocked me on my a-s. Yeah the whole thing about the ambiguity of my secluded lifestyle just got deeper in my mind. These words took me further into the self-imposed liminal zone I've created in my life.

I went here during my short trip to Kumamoto. It is well accessible from the town centre. Admission fee is reasonable, and there is a special price for students. Other than exhibitions, this place also has a quite huge reading space with a live piano session (No picture allowed inside) and art supply-slash-merchandise store.

It's a small museum but it is well-designed with a few works from famous artists that can be accessed by the visitors for free. Only the special exhibit has a fee. There are many souvenirs from different artists that is for sale as well.

「ドレス・コード?着る人たちのゲーム」展を見に来ました。 京都で開催を知ったのですが、時間がなかったので、九州での開催を知って嬉しかったです。 高速バスのバス停の目の前の建物。鶴屋デパートの目の前で、アクセスがとてもいいです。 エスカレーターを登って3階へ。帰りの下りはエスカレーターがないので、階段になります。 (もちろんエレベーターもあります) とても綺麗な建物です。隣にはホテルも。 カフェやショップがたくさん入っているビルです。 予想よりも広い会場でした。 洋服が約90点、現代アート、写真、映画ポスター、漫画とのコラボなど合計300点の展示でした。 写真OKゾーンがあったので、ドレスコード展のメインビジュアルにもなった、コムデギャルソンのドレスを撮りました。 熊本での巡回があってよかったです。 企画展に合わせて、関連する映画の無料上映会もあっていました。 会場出たところに、ワークショップのブースもありました。 ミュージアムショップは、雑貨、文具多めでした。 今回は時間がなかったので、現代アートの常設展示を次回はじっくり見たいと思います。 営業時間 10:00〜20:00

Very small gallery, with two small free galleries plus a bigger rotating paid gallery. Nice building and nice art market/gift store. Friendly staff.
