Kōsetsu Museum of Art

Mikage-Gunge, Japan · built 1972

The Kōsetsu Museum of Art (Kōsetsu Bijutsukan) is an art museum that opened in Kobe, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan in 1973. The museum preserves, researches, and displays the collection of Japanese and East Asian artworks—including Buddhist art, calligraphic works, tea utensils, early-modern paintings, arms and armour, and lacquerware—built up by Murayama Ryōhei, also known as Kōsetsu, founder of The Asahi Shimbun. These works include nineteen Important Cultural Properties and twenty-three Important Works of Fine Arts. In December 2021, the museum closed for an extended period of renovation, although exhibition activities continue through the Nakanoshima Kōsetsu Museum of Art in Osaka.
