Daiichi Museum for art

The Daiichi Museum for art is an art museum in Nagoya dedicated to glass artworks from the late 1800s to today. The collection features handcrafted pieces by European artists as well as modern works by international glass creators.

The museum opened in 1997 and has systematically built one of Japan's largest glass collections over the decades. The collection grew through careful acquisition of important artworks from Europe and America.

The collection brings together glass artworks from European masters and contemporary artists from around the world. Visitors can observe how different cultures and time periods approach the same material in distinct ways.

The museum is located in central Nagoya and has limited parking, so visiting by public transportation is recommended. Plan to spend enough time to view the collection carefully and appreciate the craftsmanship of each piece.

The building has housed the Hungarian Honorary Consulate in Nagoya since 2021, blending cultural institution with diplomatic function. This unusual arrangement means the space serves both visitors interested in art and official representatives of a foreign nation.
