The Okayama Prefectural Museum of Art

Okayama Prefectural Museum of Art is characterized by exhibiting works connected to Okayama Prefecture. Its stylish building was designed by Mr. Okada, the same architect behind the Okayama City Orient Museum (also in Okayama City). Because it is very close to Korakuen Garden and Okayama Castle, it has excellent access and is a very popular sightseeing spot visited by many tourists who want to efficiently explore the area. It’s also close to the Okayama City Orient Museum, so art lovers can enjoy comparing the two. You can reach it on foot from Okayama Station, but once you step inside, the atmosphere changes immediately—quiet and cool, yet warmed by just the right amount of natural light, creating a calm space to appreciate art. It hosts various events throughout the year, including famous exhibitions such as Renoir shows, so check the event schedule in advance if you’re interested. There is an underground parking lot, making it reassuring for those arriving by car.
