Kaitlyn and Taylor were my guides to The National Art Center (国立新美術館). The walk from Harajuku was beautiful and the view from the outside competes with the art inside. 

The National Art Center has no permanent collection or display, but is actually groups of temporary sponsored exhibitions. I’ve heard the building described as what would happen if the Apple Store and MoMa had a baby (if inanimate objects could procreate), which is pretty on point.
