About
The Nagoya City Art Museum (名古屋市美術館, Nagoya-shi Bijutsukan) is an art museum in Naka-ku, Nagoya, Nagoya, Japan, located in Shirakawa Park. It opened on 22 April 1988. Designed by Kisho Kurokawa, the museum was planned in the early 1980s, while collection building began in 1983.
Its collection has developed around four principal areas: local art from the Nagoya cultural region, the École de Paris, the Mexican Renaissance, and postwar and contemporary art.
Works by the surrealist Kansuke Yamamoto, Sean Scully, and Alexander Calder belong to its permanent collection. Artists such as Hakuyō Fuchikami, Nakaji Yasui and Jean-Michel Othoniel have exhibited their works there.
