Ishikawa Nanao Art Museum, Art museum in Nanao, Japan.
Ishikawa Nanao Art Museum is an art museum in Nanao with two floors and multiple exhibition spaces for contemporary works. The collection displays pieces by Japanese and international artists working across different media and styles.
The museum was founded in 1995 and has since supported the art culture of Ishikawa Prefecture. Over the following decades, it grew into an important hub for contemporary art in the region.
The museum's collection centres on the Ikeda Collection, bequeathed by honorary Nanao citizen Fumio Ikeda. Every year it holds a special exhibition on Nanao-born Momoyama-period painter Hasegawa Tōhaku, known for the National Treasure Pine Trees screen, alongside the Bologna International Children's Book Fair Illustrators Exhibition.
Your visit gives you access to both floors with clear signage and barrier-free pathways between spaces. Audioguides are available on-site to learn more about the displayed works.
Architect Shozo Uchii designed the spaces with special attention to light and proportions. Each exhibition area uses this thoughtful design to present artworks in their best light.
