MK Guide Recommends
Housed inside a former public bathhouse from 1928, the Yokoo Tadanori Museum of Contemporary Art stands out as a bold platform for the multimedia works of one of Japan’s most genre-defying artists. From psychedelic posters and surreal paintings to graphic design and photography, Yokoo’s art explores themes of death, reincarnation, and the subconscious. The museum’s architecture combines the nostalgic feel of the original building with sleek, modern updates—reflecting Yokoo’s own blend of East and West, old and new. Exhibitions rotate regularly, providing fresh insights into the artist’s extensive archive and influence on global pop and counterculture. Located near the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art, this spot offers curious visitors a taste of Kobe’s avant-garde spirit.
