Azumino Municipal Museum of Modern Art, Toyoshina

Azumino Municipal Museum of Modern Art houses a large collection of sculptures and paintings displayed within a Romanesque-style structure. The interior spaces are organized to showcase the two main artistic collections in an accessible way throughout the building.

This museum opened in 1992 and became an important cultural site in the Nagano region. Its creation reflected a growing effort to support and showcase artistic work in the area.

The exhibitions focus on two regional artists whose work reflects local artistic traditions and broader international influences. Their collections together tell a story about how artists saw Japan and the world during the modern era.

The museum is open during standard daytime hours and is easy to reach on foot from the main areas. The site is compact enough to explore comfortably in one visit.

The museum grounds feature a rose garden with many different varieties that visitors can explore freely. This garden area provides a peaceful contrast to the art collections inside the building.
