Tokushima Modern Art Museum, Modern art museum in Hachiman-chō, Japan.
Tokushima Modern Art Museum sits within Tokushima Bunkanomori Park and displays permanent collections of Japanese and Western artworks set among natural surroundings. The collection spans works by international names like Pablo Picasso and Paul Klee alongside Japanese artists, offering visitors a cross-cultural perspective on modern art.
The museum opened on November 3, 1990, following the relocation of the original Tokushima Prefektural Museum founded in 1959. This move brought the art collection to a specially designed space within a park setting to provide a more suitable exhibition environment.
The museum maintains collections featuring works by Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee, Kiyokata Kaburagi, and Seishi Kishimoto, representing both Western and Japanese artistic traditions.
The museum operates Tuesday through Sunday from 09:30 to 17:00 and sits within a park offering walking paths and green spaces. Visitors should allow time for a stroll through the grounds, especially if they wish to enjoy the natural setting alongside the art.
In 1999, the museum purchased a painting for roughly 67 million yen that was later identified as a forgery created by German art forger Wolfgang Beltracchi. This incident highlights how challenging it can be to distinguish authentic artworks from sophisticated counterfeits, even for experienced professionals.
