A gallery for everyone, easily accessible from Minatomirai Station.
Minato Mirai Gallery
This time, we visited the Minatomirai Gallery, which is within walking distance from Minatomirai Station on the Minatomirai Line, without getting wet in the rain. There are many cultural facilities nearby, such as the Yokohama Minatomirai Hall and the Yokohama Museum of Art, so many art lovers are probably familiar with the area! Look for this blue pillar.
This multi-purpose gallery, situated in a light-filled, open atrium, offers a wonderfully spacious and airy atmosphere. When we visited for the interview, the calligraphy group "Ryounkai" was holding a selection exhibition, and various beautiful calligraphic works mounted on hanging scrolls welcomed visitors.
Minato Mirai Gallery boasts three exhibition rooms, each with a different atmosphere due to its size and lighting. First, let me introduce Gallery A, located right by the entrance, which takes advantage of the building's open atrium structure, allowing natural light to pour in and creating a high ceiling. The exhibition walls are very large, making it a perfect space for displaying large works of art.
Next up is Gallery B, located at the back of Gallery A.
Unlike Gallery A, this space completely blocks out natural light. It's a gallery where you can create a calm atmosphere using only spotlights.
And this is Gallery C, located next to Gallery A, with even brighter lighting.
During our visit, a large-scale exhibition was being held using all three exhibition rooms, but sometimes three different exhibitions are held in each room. The charm of the gallery lies in how it transforms into a different art space each time you visit. Minato Mirai Gallery is in a superb location, close to tourist spots such as Yokohama Port and Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse, as well as commercial facilities such as Minato Mirai Tokyu Square and hotels. Why not casually drop by and enjoy some art in between sightseeing and shopping?
