Shizuoka City Museum of Art

Shizuoka City Museum of Art, which is located on the third floor of the twenty-five-story Aoi Tower building at the north exit of JR Shizuoka Station, first opened its doors in May 2010 and held its grand opening in October the same year. With the guiding principle of “creating and communicating an energetic art and culture of the people and the local region”, the museum holds exhibitions and engages in educational outreach and investigative research activities.
In the galleries, exhibitions covering a broad range of genres are held, primarily in the arts but also featuring design and handicraft work.
In the “Communication Zone”, which includes the entrance hall, the multi-purpose room and the workshop room, various outreach projects are carried out, including presentations and lectures on diverse art scenes, workshops, concerts, and screenings of art films.
Taking advantage of our location only three minutes’ walk from the train station, we aim to be an art museum that may serve as an “interesting meeting place in the heart of town”, where anyone can stop by on a whim.
