At a Glance
The Kagoshima City Museum of Art stands on the former Ninomaru, or secondary enclosure, of Kagoshima Castle in the Shiroyama district of Kagoshima. It first opened in 1954 as the first public art museum in the prefecture, and the present building dates from 1985. The roof is fitted with sprinklers and dust chutes to cope with ash from Sakurajima.
The collection of about 4,500 works centres on modern Western-style painting, with pieces by Kuroda Seiki, Fujishima Takeji and Wada Eisaku, alongside Monet's water lilies and a Cézanne landscape. A Kuroda memorial room was set up when the museum opened, and the ceiling of the entrance hall carries a Satsuma kiriko glass pattern. Nearby are the Saigo statue and several other museums, which together form the Kagoshima Culture Zone.
