Artizon Museum

The Artizon Museum, operated by the Ishibashi Foundation and formerly known as the Bridgestone Museum of Art, opened in January 2020 as a new museum at the same location, Kyobashi, Tokyo. The new name ARTIZON was coined by combining the words ART and HORIZON, to reflect our determination to impart a sense of new horizons in pioneering art. The concept of the museum is "experiencing creativity." In addition to the Impressionist and Japanese Western-style paintings from the modern period for which Ishibashi Foundation Collection has been renowned, new acquisitions include postwar Abstract paintings and early Japanese arts from the Edo period, enlarging the breadth and depth of the collection. These additions to the collection make it possible to mount exhibitions that cover ancient to contemporary art. The Artizon Museum is located at the lower section of the 23-story "Museum Tower Kyobashi", and the galleries comprise of three floors, from the 4th to the 6th with the latest lighting and air-conditioning equipment, to present the varied pleasures of art.
