Niigata City Niitsu Art Museum

The Niigata City Niitsu Art Museum stands within the Hana to Iseki no Furusato Park, featuring modern architectural elements that merge with natural surroundings.

The museum, which opened its doors in October 1997, was designed by Japanese architect Tadashi Yokoyama as a dedicated space for artistic expression.

The museum collection presents early-modern Nihonga paintings, Yoga style artworks, sculptures, photographs, and original drawings from picture books and animations.

Visitors can reach the museum through a 20-minute drive from Niitsu Interchange on the Ban-Etsu Expressway, with child-minding services available upon advance reservation.

The facility integrates with the adjacent Niigata Prefectural Botanical Garden and Furutsu Hachimanyama Kofun historical site, creating a cultural complex.
