 Toride Annex |
| ABOUT THE MUSEUM | THE TORIDE ANNEX |
|---|---|
 The main building |
Toride Annex was built as the Annex of the former Art Museum of Ueno on the gently sloping hill at the entrance of the Toride Campus. It consists of a multipurpose hall and administration office on the first floor and storage and a photo studio on the second and third floor. It was built mainly to resolve the shortage of storage space on the Ueno Campus. The concept of a "Wall Museum" was proposed to explore the characteristics of the Tokyo University of the Arts (the former name: Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music), and so art works were placed around the museum building as a space for the creative activities of the teachers (professors), forming a kind of an environmental museum.
