After extensive renovations, the iconic Yokohama Museum of Art
has reopened its doors to visitors from all over the world. The
museum’s reopening paves the way to new and closer collaboration
with international events in Yokohama. This extraordinary venue is
the ideal setting for a one-of-a-kind gathering, in part, supported
by the Yokohama Convention & Visitors Bureau (hereinafter
YCVB).
The Yokohama Museum of Art
Founded in 1989, the Yokohama Museum of Art collects over 14,000
works of art that reflect the many facets of life in Yokohama—past,
present, and future.
The reopening of the museum coincides with the Yokohama
Triennale, an international exhibition featuring contemporary
artists whose decentralized exhibits turn the entire metropolis
into an art museum. The 8th Yokohama Triennale is being held from
March 15 to June 9, 2024, with the Yokohama Museum of Art being a
pivotal venue for the exhibition.
With the museum firmly back on the map as Yokohama’s leading
artistic venue, YCVB plans to showcase the space by holding
innovative events there. The Yokohama Museum of Art’s striking
modernist architecture and bold, open galleries provide the perfect
backdrop for any event.
YCVB’s catalogue of unique venues
Yokohama is especially suited to MICE (meeting, incentive,
conference/convention, and event/exhibition), with venues that
elevate any gathering to an unparalleled experience to be
remembered. From iconic landmarks rentable for private functions to
buildings that are hidden gems, Yokohama’s venues top the list of
locations that elevate, enchant, and exalt.
Whether it is hosting an out-of-this-world presentation at the
Konica Minolta Planetaria Yokohama, welcoming MICE
participants at the historic Hotel New Grand, enchanting
guests with the traditional Japanese beauty of Sankeien
Garden, or holding a harborside party at The Wharf House
Yamashita Koen, YCVB can provide the ideal venue for any
event.
