Museum of Kyoto

The Museum of Kyoto exhibits artifacts, textiles, and ceramics across multiple floors in a building designed by architects Tatsuno Kingo and Uheiji Nagano.

Opening its doors in 1988, the museum occupies a structure that received the designation of Important Cultural Property due to its architectural significance.

The permanent collection includes objects from different periods of Kyoto's development, presenting local traditions through displays of art, crafts, and historical documents.

Visitors can access the museum through guided tours, participate in educational workshops, and attend regular film screenings in the dedicated theater space.

The museum maintains a dedicated area called Roji shops, where local merchants sell traditional goods in a recreated historical shopping street setting.
