The Art House Project is an art project developed in the Honmura district.
This project, which began in 1998, currently has 7 locations open to the public.
In areas where people still live, existing vacant houses and other buildings are renovated, and the spaces themselves are transformed into artworks, weaving in the time and memories of when people inhabited them. Furthermore, encounters between visitors and residents, which unfold within these living spaces, give rise to various episodes.
This project, which is not limited to the museum area but extends into daily life, is constantly changing.

The space of exposed concrete, designed by Tadao Ando, breathes new life into a traditional wooden house approximately 100 years old. Past and present, wood and concrete, light and darkness. This is a small space where opposing elements overlap, condensing Tadao Ando's architectural elements. This is a museum where you can see not only photographs, sketches, and models that convey Tadao Ando's work and the history of Naoshima, but also the reborn building and space itself.

The house "Matabee" in the Honmura district has been transformed into an exhibition space, showcasing new works conceived and created specifically for this location, now open to the public from Friday, June 21st.
This is the first collaborative work conceived and produced by Yang Haegyu and Apichatpong Weerasethakul. The exhibition, divided into "Day" and "Night," features original works by Yang in the former and Weerasethakul in the latter, each unfolding their unique artistic worlds.

Naoshima New Art Museum is the tenth art facility designed by Tadao Ando, located within the village and the first to bear "Naoshima" in its name. The museum exhibits and collects works by artists from Asian regions, including Japan. Through periodic changes in exhibitions and various public programs, it aims to communicate diverse perspectives, expressions, and multifaceted messages about different eras and societies. It also strives to be a place for exchange and collaboration where people can visit repeatedly and where a wide variety of people, both from the island and elsewhere, can meet.
