Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art

The grand art museum building displays Imperial Crown Style architecture with traditional Japanese elements across its 9,349 square meters of exhibition space.

The museum first opened in 1928 as the Shōwa Imperial Coronation Art Museum before receiving its current designation in 1933 under architect Kenjirō Maeda.

The museum maintains a substantial collection of Japanese artworks, including significant pieces by artist Takeuchi Seihō from the late 19th century.

Visitors can reach the museum via Higashiyama Station on the Municipal Subway Tōzai Line or by bus stops at Okazaki Koen and Bijutsukan.

In 2020, the institution received corporate sponsorship from Kyocera, leading to its alternative name: Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art.
