Since its opening in April 1995, the Nizayama Forest Art Museum has been attracting attention as an art museum in a renovated hydroelectric power station, which was constructed in 1925 and intended to be demolished but preserved by Hokuriku Electric Company. 
Rebuilt to maintain as many traces of the power stations as possible, a red brick building is a place where old Taisho-era architecture meets new contemporary art. The museum holds unique exhibitions in its special atmosphere that stirs the artistic imagination.
