The Suntory Museum of Art, originally opened in 1961, has always subscribed to the underlying philosophy of “Lifestyle Art.” Mobilizing special exhibitions of paintings, ceramics, lacquerware, glass dyeing and weaving and other genres, the museum is appointed for casual enjoyment of genuine art treasures.
Also incorporated on-site are a museum shop, cafe, tearoom and other amenities to aid visitors in better enjoying their stays. The museum takes pride in proposing new lifestyle visions fulfilling to all generations, and will be using this wonderful new location to convey the outstanding identity of Japanese art to connoisseurs in both Japan and abroad.
