History

OK go with me. This is an UNDERGROUND museum that uses no artificial light. There are only 3 artists displayed in the museum and two of them are Claude Monet and James Turrell. They make you put on little white booties to go into the Monet room - the only place in the world where you will see a Waterlilies painting lit by natural light. The building is designed by Tadao Ando. I know, it takes forever to get there from Tokyo. Just go.
