About this place
Fukushima Prefectural Museum of Art (福島県立美術館, Fukushima Kenritsu Bijutsukan) is a museum located in Fukushima City, at the base of Mount Shinobu. It shares a campus of over 60,000 square meters with Fukushima Prefectural Library. The two facilities were established together in July, 1984. However, the museum maintains its own grounds and gardens, separate from the library. The museum houses nearly 4,000 works by both local and world famous artists. French Impressionist paintings by Claude Monet and Paul Gauguin are among the museum's collection, as are modern Japanese paintings by Sekine Shoji and Kishida Ryusei. The museum also houses works of 20th century American realism, prints, Earthenware, ceramic art, and textiles. The museum owns an important part of Ben Shahn's Lucky Dragon series, about the Daigo Fukuryū Maru (literally, Lucky Dragon No. 5), the Japanese fishing boat caught in the Bikini Atoll hydrogen bomb blast.
