Okawa Museum of Art

Located on the hillside of Mount Suidō, the Okawa Museum of Art displays over 7,300 artworks across multiple exhibition spaces with panoramic views of Kiryu city.

The museum opened in April 1989 in a renovated corporate dormitory building, founded by businessman Eiji Okawa who collected art pieces for four decades.
