A RED-BRICK ART MUSEUM
The Himeji City Museum of Art is housed in an historic red-brick building on a site whose many beautiful features include an impressive view of Himeji Castle. The castle, designated a World Cultural Heritage and National Treasure, is often likened to a white heron because of its elegant lines. Opened in 1983, the museum promotes art and enhances local culture, by acquiring, exhibiting, and conducting research on a broad spectrum of art works. Exhibitions are held in three galleries: the Permanent Exhibition Gallery, the Special Exhibition Gallery, and the Collection Gallery. In addition to exhibitions, the museum hosts lectures, gallery talks, workshops and other events to promote public understanding of the arts. Our aim is to be a museum that is both popular and accessible.
