The Toyota Municipal Museum of Art opened in 1995.^[1] The museum building was designed by Yoshio Taniguchi while the landscape was designed by Peter Walker. It cost $122 million to build and was entirely paid for by Toyota city. Standing by the entrance to the museum are a simple cubic sculpture by Sol Lewitt and a sculpture of rusted, curved steel plates by Richard Serra.^[2]
