At Fukui City Art Museum (nicknamed Art Labo Fukui), the sculpture of Hiroatsu Takata, a sculptor who spent his youth in Fukui and the wartime period in France, is constantly on display. Because of the influence of his various 'caltural' friends,Takata did outstanding work in a host of genres, which the museum plans to exhibit in an attempt to please the eyes off all of its visitors. We also have a corner where you can look at works from our ateliers.
As well, we regard the importance of not only the appreciation of art, but also of the creation. Knowing that appreciation of great art stimulates the imagination, we have built a place for creation. In the Children's Atelier, we search not for perfection, but strive to allow the children to experience the pleasure of making. In the Citizen's Atelier, we don't look for professionalism, rather work toward the capturing of art of many genres and the using of many different materials. We value the fact that 'creating' and 'seeing' go hand in hand. We try to closely intimate the exhibits with the atelier.
