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

The Niigata City Art Museum is an art museum in Nishiōhata-chō, Niigata, focused on Japanese contemporary art and modern Western art. The building was designed by Japanese architect Kunio Maekawa and holds several thousand works across its gallery spaces.

The museum opened on 13 October 1985 on the site of the former Niigata Prison, under the motto "see, make, talk". Its building and the adjoining Nishiōhata Park were designed by Niigata-born architect Kunio Maekawa in his last years, a work honoured with the 1986 BCS Prize. After a mould incident in 2009 led the Agency for Cultural Affairs to block a planned exhibition of Buddhist statues, the city revised the museum's management in 2011 and carried out major renovations in 2014–2015.

Part of the permanent collection is devoted to artists from Niigata prefecture, shown alongside international works. Walking through the galleries, visitors can see how local and Western art movements relate to each other.

The museum is closed on Mondays (except national holidays) and on the day after a holiday or substitute holiday, and from December 28 to January 3. It is open from 9:30 to 18:00. From Niigata Station, the BRT Bandai Bridge Line to Furumachi takes about 10 minutes, followed by a 12-minute walk.

Kunio Maekawa, who designed the building, studied under Le Corbusier and is considered one of the founders of modern Japanese architecture. This makes the building itself a point of interest for anyone drawn to 20th-century architecture, not just the collection inside.
