Tawara Museum of Art

The Tawara Museum of Art is an art museum in Ashiya that displays modern and contemporary works by regional and international artists. The collection spans a range of artistic styles that allows for varied rotating exhibitions.

The museum was founded in 1988 and has grown into a significant institution for the Hyogo region. Its establishment reflects the increasing importance placed on art museums in local Japanese cultural life.

The museum brings together traditional Japanese art forms and contemporary works in its exhibitions. This pairing allows visitors to experience both the continuity and evolution of artistic practice across different eras.

Admission ranges from 300 yen for school-age children to 600 yen for adults, and free parking is available for one vehicle. The museum maintains regular hours and offers special programs designed to help children engage directly with original artworks.

The museum provides on-site parking, which is uncommon for an art museum in an urban area. This amenity makes visits more convenient for those arriving by car.
