Artizon Museum Aatizon Bijutukan (アーティゾン美術館), until 2018 Bridgestone Museum of Art (ブリヂストン美術館, Burijisuton Bijutsukan), is an art museum in Tokyo, Japan.
The museum was founded in 1952 by the founder of Bridgestone Tire Co., Ishibashi Shojiro (his family name means stone bridge). The museum's collections include Impressionists, Post-Impressionists and twentieth-century art by Japanese, European and American artists, as well as ceramic works from Ancient Greece. The museum was located in the headquarters of the Bridgestone Corporation in Chūō, Tokyo.




Closure and eventual reopening


The museum closed its doors on 18 May 2015 in order to make way for the construction of a new building, to where the museum would be relocated, reopening in January 2020. Construction of the new building (tentatively named the Nagasaka Sangyo Kyobashi Building) begun with a groundbreaking ceremony on June 17, 2016 and was completed in 2019. The museum's new name was announced in 2018, combining the words "art" and "horizon". During the long-term closure, various items from the museum's collection have been loaned out for display in other institutions.
