Entrance gate to the Japanese National<br />
Museum of Art<br />
The gateway to the National Museum of Art is designed to express the vitality of bamboo and the<br />
progress and growth of modern art. The structural material is stainless steel, which is equivalent<br />
or superior to carbon steel in load-bearing. Stainless steel is also highly durable and can be welded<br />
on-site. A photo-catalytic coating has been applied to highlight the clean appearance of stainless<br />
steel. The gate serves not only as the symbol of the museum but also as the entrance gate to the<br />
local community.<br />
