At a Glance
The Ishikawa Prefectural Museum of Art is the main art museum of Ishikawa Prefecture, in Kanazawa near Kenrokuen Garden. It first opened in 1959 and has stood in its present building since 1983, and its collection focuses on works connected with Ishikawa.
The first gallery shows two incense burners by Nonomura Ninsei: the pheasant is a National Treasure and the hen pheasant an Important Cultural Property. A branch of the Maeda family's Sonkeikaku Library shows its art and craft pieces in monthly themed displays. In 2005 the museum received a gift of 2,224 ukiyo-e prints, and the Hirosaka Annex holds a conservation workshop where craftspeople can be watched restoring cultural properties up close. The entrance hall has a museum shop and a café produced by the pâtissier Tsujiguchi Hironobu.
