Himeji City Museum of Art

The Himeji City Museum of Art occupies a red brick building within Himeji Park, offering three distinct galleries for permanent, special, and collection exhibitions.

The structure, originally constructed as an army facility, transformed through various roles including Himeji City Hall before becoming an art museum in 1983.

The museum maintains an extensive program of exhibitions, lectures, and workshops that connect visitors with both Japanese and international artistic expressions.

Located 20 minutes from Himeji Station, the museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with general admission at 210 yen.

Thirteen contemporary sculptures stand in the museum gardens, creating an outdoor exhibition space against the background of Himeji Castle.
