Museum in The Nara area

The Nara Prefectural Museum of Art opened in March 1973, when Kanbo Yoshikawa, a Japanese painter and cultural anthropologist, donated Japanese paintings, Ukiyoe, and crafts from the Edo period. After acquiring two other collections by Yura and Ohashi, and works by ceramist Kenkichi Tomimoto, the museum's collection has expanded to a total of 4200 items that includes various forms of art. The museum hosts exhibitions and researches based on the art collection.
