The Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art, designed by Tadao Ando, who represents the Japanese architecture world, is full of features as attractive as the works in the museum. The museum is designed to fuse art with music ,play, dancese and other events. The structure of the building produces various complex spatial experiences. Each part of the building shows different views of reflected light and shadow. The calm entrance hall guides you with a meditative atmosphere and in contrast sunshine falling on the exhibition spaces through the glazed terrace creates a more lively atmosphere. In addition, the juxtaposition of the museum like a huge maze and surrounding sea amuses with views that change from morning to evening and through the seasons. The design of the building can at times seem complex but in fact this complexity is one of the joys of visiting this museum.
