Despite the museum's name, there's plenty of more traditional sculpture

This chap is trying to escape out onto the terrace

Also on the terrace is this unusual cactus-like stone object

This one casts shadows and reflections in the sun

Even along the top of the wall by the path there are fun little sculptures

There's plenty of greenery around the entrance to the museum

This chap keeps an eye on you as you walk past the building to the garden

Steps lead down to the garden behind the building

In the garden there's a mix of classical and modern sculpture

There are different styles of sculpture on display inside too

Some of the sculpture is playful and inventive, like this one with its carved shadows

Located in a quiet residential area about ten or fifteen minutes' walk from Meguro and Naka-Meguro stations, the Museum of Contemporary Sculpture displays a wide range of sculpture, some of it traditional, much of it more modern. There are over 200 pieces on display, with two floors inside the museum building and a terrace and garden outside, and there's also a small tearoom inside.

The museum is open from 9:00am to 5:00pm Tuesday to Sunday, and there's no admission fee.
