Miyagi Museum of Art

The Miyagi Museum of Art building features concrete structures, geometric lines, and large windows that allow natural light into exhibition spaces.

Architect Kunio Maekawa designed this museum, which opened its doors on November 3, 1981 as a major cultural institution in northern Japan.

The museum collection includes Japanese art from different periods, international works by Kandinsky and Klee, and original illustrations from post-war picture books.

Visitors can reach the museum by taking the Sendai Subway Tozai Line to International Center Station, followed by a seven-minute walk to the entrance.

The museum received the BCS Prize and holds a position among the 100 Best Public Buildings in Japan due to its architectural excellence.
