【Toyama City Center】A Fantastical Space of Light and Glass!

Located in the heart of Toyama City, the Toyama Glass Art Museum is a popular spot that symbolizes Toyama, the city of glass. Designed by world-renowned architect Kengo Kuma, the building harmoniously blends wood and glass, creating a warm and inviting space that immerses visitors in the world of art from the moment they step inside. The light streaming through the atrium lobby is stunning, making the building itself a work of art. The exhibits primarily feature contemporary glass art, showcasing delicate works by artists from Japan and abroad. Among them, the permanent exhibition "Glass Art Garden" presents a fantastical glass forest by Dale Chihuly, offering an experience akin to wandering into a dream. At night, the illuminated interior becomes even more magical, making it an ideal spot for a romantic date. 📌 Useful Information Address: 5-1 Nishicho, Toyama City, Toyama Prefecture Access: About a 1-minute walk from the "Nishicho" tram stop, accessible from Toyama Station Opening Hours: 9:30 AM–6:00 PM (Fridays and Saturdays until 8:00 PM) Closed: 1st and 3rd Wednesdays Admission Fee: Varies by special exhibition (Permanent exhibition: 520 yen) A unique art space where art and architecture merge, only in Toyama.
