Iwasaki Art Museum

The Iwasaki Art Museum displays French paintings from the 19th century, modern art pieces, traditional Nihonga paintings, and Japanese calligraphy in its exhibition spaces.

Architect Fumihiko Maki designed this cultural institution, which opened its doors to the public on April 28, 1983, following the vision of founder Yohachirō Iwasaki.

The museum houses works by Kagoshima-born artists Kuroda Seiki and Seiji Togo, alongside international pieces that represent various artistic movements and periods.

Located within the Ibusuki Iwasaki Hotel grounds, the museum charges an entrance fee of 300 yen and operates daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

The museum includes the Iwasaki Yoshie Craft Gallery, established in 1998, which exhibits Satsuma ware and art objects from Papua New Guinea.
