Lonely Planet review for Watari Museum of Contemporary Art (Watari-Um)

This progressive and often provocative museum was built in 1990 to a design by Swiss architect Mario Botta. Exhibits are always cutting-edge and sometimes arty-farty – think push-the-envelope photos by Larry Clark, or vacuum-cleaner ballets choreographed by visiting Scandinavians. There’s an excellent art bookshop called On Sundays where you can browse through an enormous collection of obscure postcards.
