Toyo Ito Museum of Architecture

Museum on Omishima Island dedicated to architect Toyo Ito, featuring two distinct buildings.

The Toyo Ito Museum of Architecture on Omishima island in the Seto Inland Sea is Japan's first museum dedicated to the work of a single architect. Designed by Toyo Ito himself, the complex consists of two buildings: the Steel Hut, clad in steel plates with polygonal facets, and the Silver Hut, a reconstruction of Ito's former Tokyo residence. The museum explores Ito's architectural philosophy through models, drawings, and multimedia installations.
