Fukuyama Museum of Art
The Fukuyama Art Museum (ふくやま美術館, Fukuyama Bijutsukan) is beautifully situated within a tranquil park adjacent to Fukuyama Castle, offering visitors a serene environment where art, history, and nature harmoniously converge. Since its opening in 1988, the museum has housed a diverse collection that includes 20th-century European paintings, modern and contemporary Japanese works, and a distinctive focus on Italian Futurism.

The museum’s traditional teahouse, set within landscaped grounds, provides a scenic retreat with views of the castle, blending the aesthetic of classical Japanese culture with the surrounding greenery.
More than just a gallery, the Fukuyama Art Museum serves as a vibrant cultural hub for eastern Hiroshima Prefecture. It presents four themed exhibitions from its permanent collection annually, alongside rotating special exhibits that highlight both local talent and international trends. The museum actively fosters community engagement through educational programs, workshops, and cultural events, creating an inviting space for both seasoned art lovers and casual visitors.
