About this place
The Rias Ark Museum of Art is a museum in Kesennuma, Miyagi Prefecture. It won the Architectural Institute of Japan Prize (Works). Miyagi Prefecture developed it as the core facility of the 'Regional Culture Creation Project' to promote balanced development of the prefecture, and in May 2004 (Heisei 16) transferred it free of charge to its managing body, the Kesennuma-Motoyoshi Regional Administrative Association. The interior is a three-storey building with a roof garden, and the total area is 4,601.22 square metres.
