Aomori Museum of Art

The Aomori Museum of Art features geometric white walls inspired by archaeological excavation sites, with multiple exhibition spaces across four floors of modern architecture.

Architect Jun Aoki designed this museum which opened on July 13, 2006, incorporating elements from the adjacent Sannai-Maruyama archaeological site into its structure.

The museum houses permanent exhibits of works by Japanese artists Yoshitomo Nara and Shiko Munakata, alongside Marc Chagall's original stage backdrop paintings for the ballet Aleko.

The museum maintains regular hours from 9:30 to 17:00, with admission fees of 510 yen for adults and special rates for students, located 10 minutes from JR Shin-Aomori Station.

The museum features an eight-sided viewing hall containing an 8.5-meter-tall white dog sculpture created by Yoshitomo Nara, becoming a symbol of the institution.
