About this place

The Ikuo Hirayama Museum of Art is an art museum in Setoda, Onomichi, Hiroshima Prefecture. It exhibits the works of Ikuo Hirayama, a Japanese-style painter and director of the Japan Art Institute, and an honorary citizen of Onomichi (formerly honorary citizen of Setoda), on Ikuchijima Island, Setoda, where he was born and raised; it opened on 6 April 1997. Its feature is that it exhibits not only Hirayama's works as a painter but also his portrait as a person, including sketches from his childhood, accounts of his experiences (such as being exposed to the Hiroshima atomic bomb) and photographs from his school days.
