This relatively large contemporary art gallery is conveniently located just behind Yokohama City Hall, in one of the beautifullly restored Imperial Silkworm Warehouses originally built in 1926. Run by the BankART 1929 NPO, they exhibit a range of contemporary Japanese artists in solo and group shows. The sprawling museum shop area showcases the work of local artists and artisans, and includes a cafe corner.
