When I started: October 31, 2022

Insider tips for visitors: Choose your own adventure when you visit the Chazen! The museum is free and open to the public so your visit can take many forms, like attending an evening event, spending an afternoon exploring the two buildings, or taking just 10 minutes out of your day to decompress in front of a single artwork.
