Watari Museum of Contemporary Art (Tokyo, Japan)

The Watari Museum of Contemporary Art (ワタリウム美術館), commonly referred to as Watari-um, is a museum of contemporary art located in Shibuya, Tokyo. Founded by Shizuko Watari and opened in 1990, the museum is near Gaienmae Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line.

The institution promotes conceptual art and other non-commercial artists in Japan. It began as a commercial venue known as the Galerie Watari, which showcased a range of artists such as Sol LeWitt and Nam June Paik, as well as famous pop artists Andy Warhol and Keith Haring.

The Watari-um became noted for its exhibitions of international and Japanese artists, while also reflecting on the position of Japanese art in the international context. The museum also organizes lectures, learning workshops for children, and small project room exhibitions.
