点评:We visited the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art twice — first in 2019, and again in 2025 with our young kids. It’s a bright, open, and beautifully curated space that turned out to be more kid-friendly than expected. During our winter visit, there happened to be a seasonal exhibition showcasing arts and crafts made by Japanese children. Our daughters were naturally drawn to it — it was colorful, relatable, and sparked their curiosity.
The museum’s most iconic installation — *The Swimming Pool* by Leandro Erlich — now requires advance online reservations to enter. In 2019, we could walk in freely, but in 2025, it was fully booked within minutes of opening at 9:00 AM Japan time. If it’s on your must-see list, be sure to reserve early through the museum website that could be booked on the day of your visit.
The museum shop is also a lovely surprise — full of creative souvenirs and art-inspired gifts that even children enjoyed browsing.
Overall, it’s a calm and inspiring indoor spot, perfect for families looking to escape the cold for a few hours in Kanazawa.
翻译:我们两次参观了21世纪当代艺术博物馆——第一次是在2019年,第二次是在2025年,我们带着孩子们一起。博物馆明亮、开放,布置精美,比预想的更适合孩子们。我们冬天去的时候,正好碰上一个季节性展览,展示日本儿童制作的工艺品。我们的女儿们自然而然地被吸引住了——展览色彩缤纷,引人入胜,激发了她们的好奇心。
博物馆最具标志性的装置——莱安德罗·埃利希的《游泳池》——现在需要提前在线预约才能入场。2019年,我们可以自由入场,但到了2025年,日本时间上午9点,它开门几分钟就被订满了。如果这是你的必看清单,一定要提前通过博物馆网站预约,你可以在参观当天预订。
博物馆商店也是一个惊喜——里面摆满了创意纪念品和艺术礼品,就连孩子们也爱不释手。
总的来说,这是一个宁静而又鼓舞人心的室内场所,非常适合想要在金泽躲避寒冷几个小时的家庭。
