The 21^st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, in Ishikawa Prefecture fully reopened on June 22 after it suspended many exhibits due to damage from the Noto Peninsula earthquake.

The New Year’s Day earthquake caused the glass ceiling of the exhibition hall to fall, resulting in the suspension of many exhibits.

As safety measures were completed, the museum fully reopened.

The popular installation “Swimming Pool” is now open to visitors again, and tourists were enjoying the artwork with cameras and smartphones in hand.

S/ Visitor: I am glad to be here because I had been looking forward to it.

S/ Visitor: I’m super excited.

S/ Ochiai Hiroaki, Public Relations Manager, 21^st Century Museum of Art, Kanazawa: With the museum returning to its original state and the extension of the (Hokuriku) Shinkansen line, I hope many tourists will visit Kanazawa in the future.
