Hokkaido Obihiro Museum of Art

The Hokkaido Obihiro Museum of Art is a modern art museum located in Obihiro at the edge of Midorigaoka Park. The building houses regional artworks and international print collections within a contemporary structure that sits naturally within the surrounding landscape.

The museum was established in 1991 and ranks as the fifth prefectural art museum in Hokkaido. Since its opening, it has grown into an important institution for presenting artistic work from the region and abroad.

The museum presents multiple special exhibitions each year featuring works by Japanese and international artists across different artistic styles. Visitors encounter both regional pieces and an extensive print collection that reflects diverse creative approaches.

The museum is typically open daily except Mondays and provides visitors access to its galleries and collections. It helps to check beforehand about possible closures due to exhibition changes, as these occur periodically throughout the year.

The building earned recognition for its architectural design that integrates thoughtfully with the parkland setting. This design integration becomes evident in how the structure merges naturally with the surrounding greenery and trees throughout your visit.
