This museum was established in June 2012 in order to relocate the current prefectural museum of art. In addition to exhibiting the works of Tsuguharu Foujita from the collection of the Masakichi Hirano Art Foundation, the new art museum aims to serve as a bridge between Akita’s people, downtown, and cultural creation through providing citizens with easy access to art and with gallery space to exhibit their artworks as well as by fostering a culture of art appreciation.
