It is a facility integrating a museum with a hotel, based on the concept of "coexistence of nature, art and architecture," and designed by Tadao Ando. In addition to exhibiting the painting, sculpture, photography, and installations in its collection, the Museum also contains permanent site-specific installations that artists have created especially for the building, selecting locations on their own and designing the works for those spaces. The Museum's artworks are found not just within its galleries, but in all parts of the building, as well as in scattered locations along the seashore that borders the complex and in the nearby forest. You can visit the Valley Gallery (Fee: Included in the Benesse House Museum entrance fee).
