The Okayama Prefectural Museum of Art sits in Tenjincho, in the Kita ward of Okayama city, in the Chugoku region of western Honshu. It is a modern art museum, and it brings together contemporary works from Japan and abroad.
What you will see
The museum combines two kinds of display. Rotating exhibitions bring new shows through the galleries over time, so the visit you make may differ from one made earlier. Alongside these, the permanent collection gives particular attention to artists from the Okayama region, which offers a useful view of local creative work set against wider international currents.
