The Chichu Art Museum unites architecture, natural light and works by Monet, Walter De Maria and James Turrell in the landscape of the Seto Sea.
Built in 2004 on the Japanese island of Naoshima, the Chichu Art Museum is designed by Tadao Ando as a place for reflection on the relationship between nature and humanity. The building is almost entirely buried in order to preserve the landscape seto's Inland Sea, but patios, openings and skylights vary the experience throughout the hours and seasons. Five late water lilies by Claude Monet are presented in a specially proportioned and lit room naturally. The permanent spaces of Walter De Maria and James Turrell also make light, time and perception the true materials of the museum. The "Chichu Art Museum" selection notably compares Le Bassin aux water Lilies - Claude Monet and The Water Lilies - Claude Monet. His reading favors color.
