Kyocera Gallery

Kyocera Gallery is an art museum located on the first floor of the corporation's headquarters in Fushimi-ku, with paintings, sculptures, and ceramics displayed across multiple exhibition spaces. The collection includes 347 copper plate prints by Picasso and glassware from the Qing dynasty.

The museum opened in October 1998 as part of Kyocera Corporation's effort to establish cultural institutions throughout the Kyoto region. This founding marked the company's commitment to supporting the arts in its home area.

The gallery displays Picasso's copper plate prints alongside Qianlong period glassware, bringing together European and Asian artistic traditions under one roof. Visitors can experience how different regional art forms speak to each other across centuries.

Admission is free and the museum is open on weekdays from 10 AM to 5 PM, but closed on weekends and national holidays. Planning your visit for a weekday allows you to explore the gallery at a more relaxed pace.

The gallery rotates its displays seasonally, mixing Japanese paintings, Western artworks, and contemporary ceramic installations in ways that transform the overall feel of the space. This means each visit offers a different view of how these pieces can relate to one another.
