Overview

The Aomori Museum of Art offers a profound understanding of Aomori's artistic and cultural heritage. A highlight is the "Aleko Hall," showcasing three breathtaking backdrop paintings from Marc Chagall's ballet, "Aleko." These monumental works, measuring 9 meters high and 15 meters wide, are truly awe-inspiring. The museum also features numerous works by Aomori-born artist Yoshitomo Nara, whose iconic "Aomori Dog" stands proudly outside as a symbol of the city. More than just a museum, it's a multifaceted cultural facility reflecting Aomori's natural beauty, history, and culture. Its adjacency to the Sannai Maruyama archaeological site adds another layer to its unique charm, offering a rare opportunity to experience history and art simultaneously.
