Tsunagi Art Museum, Art museum in Tsunagi, Japan.
The Tsunagi Art Museum is housed in a modern building with multiple exhibition spaces that display contemporary artworks and installations. The structure, designed by NTT Facilities, offers several galleries for rotating displays and artistic presentations.
The museum opened its doors in April 2001 as a cultural initiative to support artists from Kumamoto Prefecture. Its establishment was part of broader efforts to strengthen the local art scene and promote regional talent.
The collections focus on contemporary works that explore social themes through photography and diverse artistic media. The exhibitions create space for dialogue between artists and visitors while showcasing local artistic expression.
The museum can be reached by a 10-minute walk from Tsunagi Station or by taxi from JR Shin-minamata Station. Plan time to explore both the indoor galleries and the outdoor art installations scattered around the surrounding grounds.
The museum grounds connect with a town-wide art project featuring 16 outdoor sculptures spread throughout the area. These works extend the artistic experience far beyond the building and encourage exploration through public spaces.
