The Teshima Art Museum stands on Teshima island in Kagawa Prefecture, in the Seto Inland Sea. Ryue Nishizawa, a co-founder of SANAA, designed it, and the Benesse Foundation operates it. The article gives 2010 as the year it was established, and no start date, client or style.

The building is a freestanding concrete shell, 25 centimeters (10 in) thick. It measures 40 by 60 meters (131 by 197 ft) and reaches 13 feet (4 m) at its highest point. The museum holds a single artwork, a piece called Matrix by the sculptor Rei Naito.

The site has a ticket office, the museum interior, a gift shop and a cafe. The article gives no opening hours or admission fees.
