What to expect

Reverberations Resound through a Forest of Art: There’s Something Here That You Won’t Find in an Urban Museum

Our museum was designed to blend into a national park in Hikone. Here, untouched nature stands side-by-side with handmade creations. The two become one, as time passes in a quiet and dignified manner. And the forest becomes one more gallery.

Rather than being thrust inside, you are enveloped. That is the essence of our collection. You’ll find Monet, Picasso, and Foujita alongside contemporary artists. There are over 10,000 items, including cosmetic utensils and crafts.

The power of art is directly conveyed from each work to each viewer’s unique sensibility. This is accompanied by a resonant curatorial approach. Look, and you are sure to discover something up ahead.

Each time you visit, you’ll find something new at this museum that loves change.
