Takasaki Museum of Art opened in July 1991 as one of the main facilities for art and culture in Takasaki. In addition to exhibitions focusing on works from the museum's collection, which are valuable cultural assets of the citizens, the museum holds five exhibitions a year in a variety of genres, including painting, sculpture, and design. Workshops, lectures, and museum concerts by artists are also held.

Also located on the grounds is the former residence of entrepreneur Fusaichiro Inoue, who was the artistic patron of Takasaki City, and the former residence of Antonin Raymond, an architect who was a close friend of Inoue's. Visitors can also enjoy the garden, which changes with the seasons.
