The Toyo Ito Museum of Architecture on the island of Ōmishima in Imabari, Ehime, was designed by Toyo Ito, whom the article calls a Pritzker Prize winner. It opened in 2011. The article gives no start date, client, style, materials or dimensions.
It consists of two small buildings on a promontory in the Seto Inland Sea, called the Steel Hut and the Silver Hut. The museum shows exhibits and runs educational programs on Ito's work, regional development and Japanese contemporary architecture.
The Japanese name of the museum is Imabari-shi Ito Toyo Kenchiku Museum. An English page is linked on the museum's website, tima-imabari.jp. The article does not give opening hours or admission, so visitors should confirm both before a trip across the islands.
