The Museum has been acquiring Kyoto modern art since its inauguration in 1933, and currently has holdings of over 3,800 artworks comprised of a core of Japanese paintings along with Western style paintings, sculpture, prints, crafts, and calligraphy.
\nThe Museum is particularly proud of its highly regarded collection of paintings by Meiji and Showa period Kyoto artists. Introducing paintings with seasonal themes in tandem with the changing seasons, the Museum gives viewers a rich sense of the seasons in Kyoto.
\nVisitors will be able to experience expressions of spring through brilliant works such as the exquisite figurative paintings of master Kyoto artist Kikuchi Keigetsu and elegant Kyoto-ware pottery conceived by craftsman Kusube Yaichi.
