poster for The National Museum of Art, Osaka

Museum in The Umeda area

The National Museum of Art, Osaka opened in 1977 with the primary aim of collecting, storing and displaying both Japanese and foreign contemporary art as well as conducting related research. By making use of the Expo Museum of Fine Arts, which was built for Expo '70, the museum facility continued to encourage development in Japanese contemporary art. Some thirty years after its construction, it was decided to relocate the museum and build a new structure in the form of a completely underground facility in the western section of Osaka's Nakanoshima district.
The new museum, while continuing to pursue its original goal of presenting contemporary art, will introduce an even wider range of foreign and domestic art trends in addition to engaging in activities that correspond to a variety of public needs and expectations.
