🏛️ British Antique Museum Kamakura

British Antique Museum BAM Kamakura opened in Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, in 2022. Located along Wakamiya Ōji on the approach to Tsurugaoka Hachimangū, the museum building along with its fourth-floor tea room was designed by Kengo Kuma, with a windowless façade inspired by the local craft of Kamakura-bori woodcarving, executed in Japanese cypress with a CNC cutter, with incisions that gradually reduce in scale for perspective effect and to blend with the sky.
