In October 2009 IZU PHOTO MUSEUM opened as a new addition to the complex. Contemporary artist Hiroshi Sugimoto designed the new addition's interior and gardens.

The new museum will focus on curating exhibitions that delve into the research of historical and social conditions surrounding photography and film, two media that have evolved continually and with great speed since the late nineteenth century. Through our exhibitions, we hope to enrich everyday life through understanding human life and the world of artistic expression.
