At a Glance
The Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art is a municipal art museum in Okazaki Park in Sakyō Ward, Kyoto. Its main building opened in 1933 and is the oldest surviving public art museum building in Japan, built in the imperial crown style to a design by Maeda Kenjirō.
The collection centers on Japanese-style painting, Western-style painting and crafts from the Meiji era to around 1990, with works by Takeuchi Seihō among the key holdings. A renewal completed in 2020 by the architects Aoki Jun and Nishizawa Tetsuo added a sunken square, a new entrance known as the Glass Ribbon and the Higashiyama Cube wing with a rooftop garden. A Japanese garden laid out by the seventh Ogawa Jihei spreads beyond it. Kyocera obtained the naming rights at the renewal.
