The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, Japan, is renowned for its unique circular design and transparent architecture, which fosters a sense of openness and accessibility. Established in 2004, the museum showcases a diverse collection of contemporary art from both Japanese and international artists. It features a variety of exhibitions, installations, and interactive exhibits that engage visitors in innovative and thought-provoking ways. One of its most iconic pieces is Leandro Erlich's "Swimming Pool," an installation that creates the illusion of a pool filled with water, allowing visitors to experience it from both above and below.
