Incredible Inspiration! Capturing Wedding Photos at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa - An Artistic Experience ♡

21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa

The "21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art," located in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, opened in 2004 and is a modern art museum that attracts around 2.5 million visitors annually, making it a popular tourist spot♡

Many of you may have visited the museum during a trip to Kanazawa.

Speaking of the 21st Century Museum, the "Swimming Pool" by contemporary artist Leandro Erlich, who is from Argentina, is famous, right?＊

Many people come here aiming to take pictures that make it look like they’re in a pool.

However, there are many wonderful spots other than the "Swimming Pool" at the 21st Century Museum♡

This time, I will introduce art pieces at the 21st Century Museum where you can take stylish photos.

You’ll want to carry a camera and travel with your partner♩

① "Color Activity House"

The 21st Century Museum has the concept of being "a museum like a park open to the town." There are wide lawns surrounding the building, and many zones where visitors can enjoy art for free♡

One of these is "Color Activity House" by Olafur Eliasson.

The walls made of glass in the three primary colors—cyan, magenta, and yellow—are set up in a spiral shape.

Depending on your standing position and the angle of sunlight, it shows various colors.

You can take poppy photos at the colorful "Color Activity House." It's also fun to play with shadows♩

If you wear a pure white dress, it will stand out against the colorful background.

② "Maru"

"Maru" was created to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the 21st Century Museum by the museum's architects, Kazuyo Sejima + Ryue Nishizawa/SANAA.

It features 16 stainless steel mirror spheres, each with a diameter of 1.8 m, giving it a futuristic appearance.

Wedding photos taken in front of "Maru" have a mysterious and stylish ambiance with the surrounding scenery reflected in them♡

You can also enter the interior of "Maru." Instead of the outside scenery, the interior of "Maru" will be reflected, creating an even more futuristic location.

You'll likely surprise others by asking, "Where was this taken?" with this photo♡

Since it is located outside the museum building, you can freely stop by in your wedding attire＊

③ "Rabbit Chair"

Inside the 21st Century Museum, the area with a row of "Rabbit Chairs" is also a popular shooting spot.

The "Rabbit Chair" has a backrest that resembles rabbit ears, making it an incredibly cute chair.

Sitting on a "Rabbit Chair" and being photographed from a distance gives off a stylish vibe reminiscent of an album cover.

It's perfect for solo shots or couple shots for paper items or movies♡

It would be nice to try various poses while taking a break.

④ "Citizen Gallery"

The "Citizen Gallery," created by Taiwanese contemporary artist Michael Lin, features colorful floral patterns inspired by Kaga Yuzen that adorn an entire wall♡

Standing in front of the glossy traditional-patterned wall alone is already stylish.

Some couples might dress in kimonos to match the traditional-patterned wall when they visit♡

⑤ "Green Bridge"

"Green Bridge" is a corridor art piece created by artist Patrick Blanc, born in Paris.

Many plants are planted throughout the glass walls and ceiling corridor. About 100 different species of plants are planted, making it a living art piece that changes its expression with the seasons♡

Photos taken inside "Green Bridge" will have the white floor and green reflections in the glass, creating a sophisticated ambiance.

It looks like it would be perfect for chic adult portraits♡

I want to go to the 21st Century Museum to take wonderful photos♡
