Takamatsu Art Museum

The Takamatsu Art Museum displays over 1,600 artworks across three categories: Post-War Contemporary Japanese Art, Art in the 20th Century, and Arts of Kagawa Prefecture.

Established in 1949 at Ritsurin Park as Japan's first public art museum, the institution relocated to its current central location in 1988 during the Great Seto Bridge opening.

The museum collection features works by influential Japanese artists including Taro Okamoto, members of the Gutai group, and contemporary creators like Takashi Murakami.

The museum operates from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM with extended hours until 7:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays, offering facilities such as a café, shop, and library.

The institution maintains an extensive collection of Kagawa lacquerware, displaying works from five artisans recognized as National Living Treasures for their craftsmanship.
