Nagoya City Art Museum

Entrance to the Nagoya City Art Museum

The Nagoya City Art Museum (名古屋市美術館, Nagoya-shi Bijutsukan) is located in the city of Nagoya in central Japan.

The museum building itself was constructed by Kisho Kurokawa, one of the leading Japanese architects, from 1983 to 1987.

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.

The museum has positioned photography as an important medium in its programme since opening in 1988 and has researched and exhibited the history of photography in Nagoya, including the 2021 special exhibition "Shashin no miyako" monogatari: Nagoya shashin undōshi 1911–1972 (The Movement of Modern Photography in Nagoya 1911–1972).[1][2]
