The Art Island

How cool would it be to go to a place termed "The Art Island". Naoshima is an island off the coast of Japan. Here are some of my favorite findings about the island. This place is definitely on my list of places to see.
It's clam to fame is due to the amount of contemporary art work and sculpture present everywhere in nature around the island. the Chichu Art Museum ( which means 'In the Earth') houses famous sculptures as well as some paintings - even Monet!


Here is a Pumpkin by Yayoi Kasuma, 1994. It is really interesting to see the contrast of the colors in this pieces against the tranquil setting that is the island. I like it!

They have gardens there as well that resemble and I am sure are traditional Japanese gardens. There were so many more photos but I suggested discovering this place yourself! It looks amazing!
