At a Glance
Okayama Prefectural Museum of Art is a prefectural art museum in the Tenjin-chō district of central Okayama, close to Kōraku-en and Okayama Castle. It opened in 1988 and was designed by the architect Okada Shin'ichi, known for the Supreme Court building.
The collection of about 5,000 works, including loans, centres on art connected to Okayama, such as works by Sesshū, Miyamoto Musashi and Urakami Gyokudō. It also holds sculpture by Hirakushi Denchū and pieces by Bizen ware masters. Old paintings and Japanese-style paintings are rotated roughly every month, and Western-style painting, sculpture and crafts about every three months. Touring special exhibitions from museums across Japan are held as well.
