Kurumaya Museum of Art, Oyama City

The museum operates in the former Ogawa family residence, a traditional Japanese building with several structures including a main house, storage buildings, and entrance gate.

The building served as a residence for the Ogawa family, prominent merchants who traded fertilizers at Otome riverside during the Edo and Meiji periods.

The museum presents rotating exhibitions of traditional and contemporary art, connecting regional artistic expressions with national cultural movements through specialized exhibitions.

Located five minutes from Mamada Station's west exit, the museum welcomes visitors from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and remains closed on Mondays and fourth Fridays.

The five preserved structures of the former residence received official recognition as Registered Tangible Cultural Properties of Japan in August 2007.
