The Yamaguchi Prefectural Hagi Art Museum features extensive collections of Japanese artwork, including paintings, ceramics, and textiles displayed in modern exhibition spaces.

Architect Kenzō Tange designed this cultural institution, which opened its doors on October 14, 1996 as part of Hagi's commitment to preserve regional heritage.

The museum maintains a significant collection of traditional Hagi-yaki pottery and hosts regular exhibitions highlighting the artistic traditions of Yamaguchi Prefecture.
