Mighishi Kōtarō Museum of Art, Hokkaido

The Mighishi Kōtarō Museum of Art is an art museum in Sapporo that displays around 220 paintings and artworks by Japanese artist Kōtarō Mighishi. The building was designed by architect Shinichi Okada and integrates exhibition galleries with spaces for musical performances.

The museum was founded in 1967 and initially operated as part of the Hokkaido Museum of Art. It moved to its current building in 1983 after the artist's family made significant donations that made the dedicated space possible.

The museum honors an artist whose work deeply connected painting with music and performance. This fusion remains central to the space today, shaping how visitors experience the artworks and the events held here.

The museum is located in central Sapporo and is easy to find and reach. Plan your visit with time to explore the exhibitions and, if interested, to attend one of the musical events that take place here.

The building itself won architecture awards and is recognized by experts for its innovative design. This architectural achievement makes a visit rewarding for those interested in design and how spaces are built.
