Kyoto Art Center was established in April 2000 in a hope to promote arts in Kyoto in a comprehensive way by collaboration between the city of Kyoto, artists and other people related to art.
The center aims at supporting various artistic activities, providing information about arts, and promoting communication between the citizens and artists through arts.

Kyoto Art Center focuses on the following three points.

-To support young artists in their activities regardless of genre.
-To collect and disseminate information on arts and culture using various media.
-To promote communication between artists and citizens; and among artists.

The Kyoto City Kyocera Museum of Art opened in 1933 as the "Tairei Memorial Kyoto Art Museum" and after World War II became the "Kyoto City Museum of Art". The building, which has been familiar to visitors for almost 90 years since its opening, is now the oldest existing public museum building in Japan. 2020 renewal will utilize the design of the original building based on the concept of architects Jun Aoki and Tetsuo Nishizawa, while adding modern elements to make it more highly functional. We hope you will enjoy the new museum where "old" and "new" overlap with a fresh image.

Nijo Castle was first commissioned by the Shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa and completed by his grandson Iemitsu who paid particular care to its refined collection of sculptures and paintings through which one may now glimpse the aesthetics of the Momoyama Period(1624-1643).

This historically valuable machiya building is designated as a Tangible Cultural Property by the City of Kyoto and as the site of the Kyoto Prefectural Medical History Research Association. This machiya was completed in 1926 by Risuke Inoue IV, the most wealthy merchant in Muromachi, and was built with the utmost in luxury. While incorporating the most advanced technology and fashions of the time, the design is a combination of Japanese and Western styles, offering a glimpse of a different era in architectural history. Enjoy the austere yet opulent scene that preserves the original appearance of the period.

The Museum of Kyoto introduces Kyoto culture that is rooted in everyday life and created from people's free and innovative ideas. The museum is a multipurpose facility that aims to inspire new concepts by learning from Kyoto's excellent traditions and culture.
The museum consists of the permanent exhibition and the special exhibition. The permanent exhibition is composed of three parts: There is the history museum where one can learn about Kyoto's history and culture; the art museum that displays works by Kyoto's Japanese painters, western painters, sculptors, and artisans; and the film library that holds screenings of films related to Kyoto. At the special exhibition space, themed exhibitions are held frequently.

DELTA is KYOTOGRAPHIE’s permanent exhibition space, it opened in autumn 2020 in Demachi Masugata Shopping Arcade in Kyoto. DELTA’s name is inspired by one of Kyoto most iconic landscapes, locally referred to as the 'Kamogawa Delta’, the confluence of the Kamogawa and Takanogawa rivers. DELTA’s building is located a short stroll from the rivers edge. The logo references a triangle formed by two boxes (masu Japanese for “box” or “container,” also a part of the shopping arcade’s name.) The goal of this project space is to propagate new ideas that arise from the convergence of opposites: East and West, tradition and innovation, mainstream and underground, local and global, etc. The first floor houses a café and a gallery, this space is home to the KYOTOGRAPHIE Academie, an ongoing educational and event program, as well the exhibition space pursuing multifaceted projects with Japanese and international artists, curators, and cultural and educational institutions. The second floor will contain DELTA STAY. In this gallery style accommodation guests can enjoy a relaxing moment in unique Kyoto style, surrounded by Japanese Photography all while in the midst of the vibrant historic shopping district.
