Fukuyama Museum of Art

Fukuyama Museum of Art is an art museum in the city of Fukuyama that displays contemporary Japanese art, Western modern works, and traditional craft objects across multiple exhibition spaces. The modern building houses various art forms and provides space for extensive collections.

The museum opened in 1988 and came into being as part of Fukuyama's cultural development near the historic castle grounds. The opening showed the city's effort to place a modern art center beside its significant historical sites.

The museum displays works by Japanese artists alongside international painters, blending Eastern and Western artistic traditions within its galleries. Visitors experience this cultural mix directly while viewing the collections.

The museum is reachable on foot from Fukuyama Station and can be easily accessed using public transportation. It is wise to plan about one to two hours for a visit, depending on how much time you want to spend on the exhibitions.

Inside the building is a traditional tea room from which visitors can glimpse the nearby castle. This room creates an unexpected conversation between contemporary art and classic Japanese craftsmanship.
