Eizō & Tōichi Katō Memorial Art Museum

The Eizō & Tōichi Katō Memorial Art Museum is an art museum in Gifu Park dedicated to two artist brothers and their creative output. The building was designed by architect Junzō Yoshimura and holds a collection of paintings, drawings, and artworks displayed within a contemporary structure.

The museum was founded in 1991 as a memorial to the artistic achievements of both brothers. It preserves their works as part of the region's artistic heritage and creative history.

The artworks on display document local practices and traditional techniques still visible in the Gifu region today. You can see how the brothers captured everyday activities and crafts through their paintings and drawings.

The museum is located within Gifu Park and is accessible by public transportation from central Gifu, with the journey taking around 20 to 30 minutes. Wear comfortable shoes as exploring the park grounds and museum spaces involves considerable walking.

The collection includes unpublished drawings and sketches that reveal how the brothers developed their artistic practice and approached their finished works. These pieces offer insight into their creative process that most visitors never see in other exhibitions.
