The Otsuka Museum of Art Using a special technology, Western masterpieces have been permanently glazed onto 1,000 ceramic tiles which are exhibited in underground exhibition rooms. With the roof planted in greenery, natural lighting, and outdoor viewing spaces in each area, the design feels open and inviting. Built at a cost of some US$800 million to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the founding of Otsuka Pharmaceutical group, the museum is the first of its kind to exhibit full-size exact reproductions of famous artworks from 170 museums by baking photographic images onto huge ceramic sheets.
