Admire artwork by artists connected to Shinshu. A highlight is the outdoor display of Yayoi Kusama's large-scale work, "Hana no Yume" (Phantom Flower).
Overview
The Matsumoto City Museum of Art houses a significant collection of works by artists with connections to Shinshu. The works of prominent Shinshu artists such as Yayoi Kusama, Shinzan Jo, Hyakuchikutei Ikegami, Kazuo Tamura, and Munehide Hosokawa are must-sees. The permanent exhibition halls allow visitors to trace the history of Shinshu's art through these artists' creations. Special exhibitions feature works by notable artists from Japan and abroad, presented thematically. Following its reopening in April 2022 after renovations, the museum boasts improved display cases, wall repairs, LED lighting, and a baby care room, ensuring a more comfortable visitor experience. The museum building itself, designed by the Miyamoto Chuo Architectural Design Office, is a recipient of the 44th BCS Award. Many historical landmarks, including Matsumoto Castle and the Former Kaichi School, are located nearby, making them ideal destinations to explore after visiting the museum.
