About Adachi Museum of Art

Founded by businessman Zenko Adachi in 1970, the museum is built around six interconnected Japanese gardens that change with the seasons. Adachi believed the gardens themselves should be considered living scrolls.

Inside, the museum holds an outstanding collection of modern Japanese painting, especially works by Yokoyama Taikan.

Preventable blindness, caused by conditions like cataracts and trachoma, affects people of all ages across the world's poorest communities. A small gift — for the cost of a museum ticket — can provide a simple surgery to restore someone's sight and transform their life.
