YOKOHAMA ART SPOT FILE
Located close to Minatomirai Station, this is a gallery that anyone can easily drop into.
Minato Mirai Gallery
This time, we visited the Minatomirai Gallery, which can be reached on foot from Minatomirai Station on the Minatomirai Line without getting wet in the rain. There are many cultural facilities nearby, such as Yokohama Minatomirai Hall and Yokohama Museum of Art, so many art lovers will know about it! Look for this blue pillar.
This multi-purpose gallery is set in a light-filled atrium space, giving it a spacious feel. When we visited for this article, an exhibition of selected calligraphy by the calligraphy group "Ryounkai" was being held, and a variety of beautiful calligraphy mounted on hanging scrolls welcomed visitors.
The Minato Mirai Gallery has three exhibition rooms, each with a different atmosphere depending on the size and lighting. The first one we'll introduce is Gallery A, located just inside the entrance, which has a high ceiling and makes use of the architectural structure's atrium to let natural light pour in. The exhibition wall is very spacious, making it the 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 is completely blocked off from external light. Only spotlights are used to create a calm atmosphere.
And here is Gallery C, which is adjacent to Gallery A and has even brighter lighting.
At the time of our visit, one large-scale exhibition was taking place across three exhibition rooms, but sometimes three different exhibitions with different content are held in each room. The charm of the gallery is that it changes into a different art space every time you visit. Minato Mirai Gallery is in a great location, close to tourist spots such as Yokohama Port and the Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse, commercial facilities such as Minato Mirai Tokyu Square, and hotels. Why not take a leisurely stroll and enjoy some art in between sightseeing and shopping?
