Art House Project
The Art House Project is an art project underway in Naoshima’s Honmura district. It began in 1998, and presently comprises seven houses.
The Art House Project takes place in empty houses scattered about residential areas, and turns the spaces themselves into works of art, weaving in the history and memories of the period when the houses were homes. Meetings between visitors to the island and the island’s residents in places where they go about their daily lives also provide occasions for a variety of interesting encounters. Shifting its focus from “nature and art” to “people” and conducting its activities in a zone of daily life, the Art House Project continues its growth into a truly organic project that changes day-by-day.

ANDO MUSEUM
A Tadao Ando-designed inner space, framed by unadorned concrete walls, infuses new life in this about 100-year-old traditional wooden house in Honmura. Contrasting elements of past/present, wood/concrete, light/shadow overlap in this space which condenses the essence of Tadao Ando’s architecture. Learn about Ando’s work and Naoshima’s history through photographs, sketches, and models, and see how the museum itself has revived this venerable old house.
