Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art
Opened in 1989, the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art was the very first public museum dedicated to contemporary art in all of Japan. Designed by renowned architect Kishō Kurokawa, the museum sits atop Hijiyama Hill, offering visitors a beautiful panoramic view of the city among the lush greenery of the hill. In addition to showcasing its collection of over 1,500 works, the museum holds regular Special Exhibits, workshops, lectures, talks by artists, and much more, to give visitors a complete picture of contemporary art. They also provide explanations of their exhibits, childcare services, and other convenient services for visitors.
The Museum is closed for renovation until Spring 2023. Please check the museum's SNS and website for their activities during the closure.
