TOKYO PHOTOGRAPHIC ART MUSEUM

Tokyo Photographic Art Museum is Japan’s first and only public museum specializing in photography and moving images. Since opening in 1995, its mission has been to “collect original prints and all aspects of photography”; today they own more than 35,000 pieces.

The museum’s particular focus has been on collecting photographs by major Japanese photographers, including Yasuhiro Ishimoto, Shoji Ueda, Kikuji Kawada, Ihee Kimura, Eikoh Hosoe, Daido Moriyama, Nobuyoshi Araki, Miyako Ishiuchi, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Naoya Hatakeyama, Ryuji Miyamoto, Yasumasa Morimura, Takashi Honma and Rinko Kawauchi.

The exhibitions are held 15 to 20 times a year, and the lineup is diverse, including exhibitions curated from Japanese and international artists’ works, with a unique point of view. That said, this museum is not only about photography; it is also renowned as the home base for the Yebisu International Festival for Art & Alternative Visions, a 15-day event held annually in February.
