About this place
The Hyōgo Prefectural Museum of Art (兵庫県立美術館, Hyōgo Kenritsu Bijutsukan) is a purpose built municipal art gallery in Nada-ku, Kobe, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. It was opened in 2002. The major collections of the museum are foreign and Japanese sculptures, foreign and Japanese prints, Western-style and Japanese-style paintings associated with Hyogo Prefecture, Japanese greatworks in modern era, and contemporary art. The museum has rooms dedicated to Ryōhei Koiso and Kanayama Heizō, two significant Japanese modernist artists trained in the European tradition. The museum building was designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando, whose Tadao Ando Architectural Institute undertook the design and construction costs, after which the building was donated to the prefecture.
