About Benesse Art Site Naoshima

A journey to islands alive with art. One day, a giant pumpkin appeared on the island pier. The pier, once an unassuming sight that could be found anywhere, was reborn as a sight so unique that it could be found nowhere else. People began to visit from distant cities and even distant countries. The island transformed itself into something new... Here, a story featuring art and island was born—a story to be found nowhere else in the world. How does the story unfold? Visit, and see for yourself.
