At a Glance
The Osaka City Museum of Fine Arts is a municipal museum in Tennoji Park, Tennoji Ward, Osaka, focusing on Japanese and East Asian art. It opened in 1936 on the site of the Sumitomo family's main residence, and the family donated the land together with the Japanese garden Keitakuen. The main building has been a nationally registered tangible cultural property since 2015.
Its collection of more than 8,000 items was built largely from gifts by private collectors. It ranges from Buddhist art and Etruscan and other Mediterranean art to Chinese paintings and calligraphy, Japanese painting from the Edo period onward, and lacquerware, metalwork and ceramics. The museum reopened in March 2025 after a renovation that began in October 2022.
