Yamagata Museum of Art

The Yamagata Museum of Art exhibits international artworks across three floors, including French Impressionist paintings and traditional Japanese masterpieces.

Founded by Yoshio Hattori in 1962, the museum opened its doors to the public in 1964 and underwent major renovations in 1985.

The museum houses Yosa Buson's six-panel byōbu from 1779, titled Oku no Hosomichi, which holds the status of Important Cultural Property.

Located at 1-63 Ōte-machi in Yamagata, the museum maintains a collection of works by Manet, Monet, Renoir, and Cézanne.

Many Impressionist paintings displayed at the museum belong to the Yoshino Gypsum Company collection, which are permanently deposited here.
