# Teshima Art Museum > [!AI]+ > The Teshima Art Museum is located on Teshima Island in the Seto Inland Sea of Japan. It is a unique art museum that combines architecture and nature in a seamless way. The museum was designed by architect [[Ryue Nishizawa]] and artist [[Rei Naito]] and opened to the public in 2010. > > The museum itself is a large, white, shell-like structure made of concrete, with two oval openings allowing natural light to filter in. Inside, there are no traditional exhibits or artwork on display. Instead, the museum is known for its single installation: a small spring that continuously produces droplets of water which move across the floor, creating ever-changing patterns. > > The design of the museum aims to create a harmonious relationship between nature, art and architecture. Visitors are encouraged to sit and observe the subtle changes in light and sound within the space, promoting a sense of tranquility and contemplation. > > The Teshima Art Museum is part of the [[Benesse Art Site Naoshima]], an art project spread across three islands in the Seto Inland Sea that includes several museums and installations designed by renowned architects and artists from around the world.
