Murauchi Art Museum

Murauchi Art Museum, Art museum in Sanyūmachi, Tokyo, Japan.

The Murauchi Art Museum occupies the third floor of a building belonging to the furniture company Murauchi Furniture Access in Hachioji, Tokyo. Its galleries display mainly French painting from the 19th and early 20th centuries, with a core of Barbizon School works by Théodore Rousseau, Charles-François Daubigny, Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot and Jean-François Millet, alongside pieces by Gustave Courbet, Eugène Boudin, Camille Pissarro, Edgar Degas, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Mary Cassatt, Marc Chagall and Moïse Kisling.

The museum opened in November 1982, founded by Michimasa Murauchi, chairman of the furniture company Murauchi Furniture Access, to share his Western painting collection with the local community. It moved to its current building in March 1995, and in July 2013 the display was renewed as Japan's first collaboration of furniture and paintings. In January 2015 it was certified as a public interest foundation by Tokyo.

The museum is named after its founder, Murauchi Michimasa, chairman of the furniture company Murauchi Furniture Access. He modelled it on the small Musée Gustave Moreau in Paris, aiming for a compact but rich collection that visitors would want to return to. Since July 2013 the displays have paired paintings with furniture by well-known international designers, a format the museum calls Japan's first collaboration of furniture and painting.

The museum is on the third floor of the Murauchi Furniture Access building in Sanyūmachi, Hachioji. It is a short walk from Hachioji Station. The galleries are compact, so a visit fits into a short outing; the 2013 rehang mixes furniture by well-known designers with the paintings, so allow time to look at both.

The museum opened in November 1982 on the initiative of Michimasa Murauchi, chairman of the furniture company Murauchi Furniture Access, who modelled it on the small, homely Musée Gustave Moreau in Paris. Since July 2013 its displays have paired paintings with furniture by well-known international designers, presented as Japan's first collaboration of furniture and painting.
