Fukui Fine Arts Museum

Fukui Fine Arts Museum, Art museum in Fukui, Japan.

Fukui Fine Arts Museum is an art museum in Fukui that houses an extensive collection of over 2,800 works spanning different periods and styles. Its holdings include prints by Goya and Picasso alongside paintings by Iwasa Matabei.

The museum opened in 1977 in Fukui's Bunkyō district; its building by architect Takeo Satō won the 21st BCS Prize. Its core holdings reflect the city's ties to Okakura Tenshin, whose father was a Fukui domain retainer, and to artists of the revived Nihon Bijutsuin. In 2006 it hosted the first retrospective of the contemporary artist Ay-O.

The museum displays works connected to the Nihon Bijutsuin art movement, offering visitors insight into this Japanese artistic tradition. The collection reflects how this movement shaped both local and broader artistic practices.

The museum is at 3-16-1 Bunkyō, Fukui, about eight minutes on foot from Tabarashinmachi Station on the Echizen Railway Mikuni-Awara and Fukui Railway Fukubu lines; the Keifuku bus stops at "Kenritsu Bijutsukan-mae". It opens 9:00-17:00 and closes over the New Year holidays and on designated temporary closure days.

The museum holds the Okajima Collection, assembled by Okajima Tatsugorō, who also worked at Tiffany in New York: sword fittings, netsuke and other finely made craft objects. A folding screen linked to the Matsudaira family, Kano Yasunobu's "Bamboo and Tiger", is among the largest six-panel screens in Japan from before the Edo period.
