Salon Le Damier

The Salon Le Damier (meaning "chequered pattern" in French) is located on the ground floor immediately inside the entrance. This space, filled with soft light pouring in from the courtyard, is normally used for working, resting, and chatting, and is a paid space with a drink service. The salon can be used as a stand-alone space or in combination with an admission ticket to the exhibition room for a reduced fee. The salon, which is small but has 85 seats, also has excellent acoustics and regularly hosts museum concerts with invited professional performers.

Shop

For the opening of the museum, a number of original goods with designs of Foujita's works were produced with the full cooperation of the Fondation Foujita in France. From stationery such as postcards, clear files, memo pads, and notepads, to T-shirts, tote bags, and ceramics produced in collaboration with Kyoto Tachikichi, the line-up of original merchandise available exclusively here at the Musée Ando à Karuizawa is impressive, not only for Foujita fans but also for cat lovers.
