Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art

The Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art sits within the Aichi Arts Center and displays contemporary Japanese and international works across multiple floors. The collection spans paintings, sculptures, and installations from diverse periods and artistic movements.

The museum opened in 1992 and quickly became a major cultural venue in the Nagoya region. Since then it has served as a key space for contemporary art exhibitions and cultural events.

Local artists regularly see their work displayed here, and the museum runs classes that teach traditional Japanese art methods. You can observe how contemporary creators blend these heritage techniques into their own pieces.

Guided tours are offered in several languages and disabled access is available throughout the building. Check ahead for extended hours on certain weekdays to make the most of your visit.

The museum hosts an annual film festival that showcases experimental films and documentaries exploring links between visual art and cinema. This November event draws filmmakers and art enthusiasts from across the region.
