The Fuchu Art Museum, located in the lush greenery of Fuchu no Mori Park, opened in October 2000 under the theme of "Life and Art: An art museum that reexamines our lives in relation to beauty."

The Fuchu Art Museum is a place where visitors can encounter art through the appreciation of masterpieces and the experience of learning, creating, and presenting. The main activities of the museum are the collection, preservation, and exhibition of artwork and educational activities that only a museum can provide.

The second floor is a relaxing exhibition space where visitors can view exhibitions of the collection from the late Edo period to the present day, as well as a wide variety of special exhibitions.
