Hara Museum of Contemporary Art, located in Shinagawa, is a relatively small museum located in avant-garde style building. The exhibitions are rotated every few months and very dedicated, with an excellent use of the museum's space at hand. Being relatively small, it allows for one to enjoy art at a leisurely pace, as opposed to rushing through large museums. There is also a very well cared for garden and a restaurant, which serves delicately crafted dishes and looks to be a very popular spot for the avant-garde art scene.
