Iwate Museum of Art

The Iwate Museum of Art is a modern art museum housing permanent collections and rotating exhibitions throughout the year. The building is well organized with dedicated galleries for viewing various artistic works.

The museum was founded in 2001 as a dedicated space for art in the Iwate region. This establishment marked the prefecture's commitment to supporting and promoting local artistic expression.

The museum displays works by regional artists such as Tetsugoro Yorozu and Shunsuke Matsumoto, reflecting the local artistic tradition. These exhibitions show how local creators have expressed their connection to the region through their art.

The museum is easily reached by bus or on foot from Morioka Station. The interior is designed for comfortable viewing of the exhibitions without obstacles.

The museum grounds include a shop selling art-related items and a restaurant serving Western dishes made with local ingredients. This combination allows visitors to extend their experience beyond viewing art.
