Teshima art museum is located on the beautiful island of teshima. In kagawa prefecture surrounded by the seto inland sea, teshima is home to a prosperous fishing industry. Expansive rice terraces. And a rich natural landscape that includes mte danyama walking along the promenade around mt myojin brings the visitor to the entrance of the art space, the thin concrete sheli. Structure has no pillars, and the installation space is open to the air sounds, and natural light that flood in from two openings in the ceiling. Inside water continuously springs from the ground. The atmosphere changes not only with the time of day but as the seasons pass. The teshima art museum evokes the joys of living. As art, architecture, and the environment come together as one.
