tower（BUS）

At the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, an exclusively designed bus was introduced in the year 2004 (the year the museum opened) and has been running ever since.

In addition to being used to shuttle participants in the museum’s programs, the bus was also intended to serve as an advertisement for the museum when being driven through the city.

Since then, 17 years have passed. The art bus has recently been updated due to age and will begin running again from this autumn.

For this current iteration of the bus, we commissioned Teppei Kaneuji, a contemporary artist whose works also feature in our collections, to do the design.

Furthermore, we will hold a performance to commemorate completion of the bus.
