Niigata City Art Museum

Niigata City Art Museum, Art museum in Nishiōhata-chō, Japan.

Niigata City Art Museum is an art museum in Niigata that focuses on collections of contemporary Japanese and modern Western art. The building houses over 5000 works and provides visitors with a broad overview of important artistic movements from the last century.

The museum was designed by renowned architect Kunio Maekawa and opened to the public in 1985. Its founding marked an important moment in Niigata's development as a center for art care and international artistic exchange.

The museum organizes four annual thematic exhibitions from its collection gallery, featuring both Japanese and international artists throughout the year.

The museum is about 25 minutes on foot from Niigata station and is open Tuesday through Sunday. It is easily accessible if you are coming from the center of the city.

The museum maintains specialized collections of artworks created after 1945, connecting local Niigata prefecture artists with international contemporary art movements.
