Onomichi City Museum of Art

The museum building combines minimalist concrete structures with large glass panels, creating interplays between interior spaces and natural light throughout the day.

The museum opened its doors in March 1980 and underwent substantial renovation in 2003 under the direction of architect Tadao Ando, who added a modernist entrance annex.

The permanent collection displays works from French painter Georges Rouault alongside Japanese artists Wasaku Kobayashi and Gyoku-un Hirata, who maintained connections with Onomichi.

Located at 17-19 Nishi Tsuchido-cho, the museum welcomes visitors from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with final entry at 4:30 PM and remains closed on Mondays.

Floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor terrace frame panoramic views of the Onomichi Channel and Seto Inland Sea, integrating the surrounding landscape into the exhibition experience.
