The Museum of Wood is a building  that was designed by Tadao Ando and is located in the Kansai Region  of Japan. It is located in the forest of Mikata-gun , which is in the Hyogo Prefecture. This causes the museum to be surrounded by natural scenery. The museum focuses on the role of wood and forests in Japanese and different international culture.

The museum was conceived in order to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the National Day of Wood. Which is a feast that was established by Emperor Showa to remember the forests that got lost during World War two.

The concrete building has a small exhibition space, educational spaces, and art workshops. In all three of these spaces, they all focuse on forests, trees, and wood carving.

The wood pavilion is a monumental structure. It has a diameter of 150 feet, with an opening about 72 feet across. It includes ribs and board on top that are made with local cedarwood. There is also a circular pond that is located in the middle.
