The first public museum in Chūgoku, open since 1968, with over 5,200 works next to Shukkeien.

The collections exceed 5,200 works, spanning Japanese and Asian art and pieces connected with the prefecture, including Salvador Dalí's celebrated ‘Dream of Venus’, among the works from the ’20s and ’30s in the collection. The museum borders Shukkeien Garden, so much so that the two tickets can be bought together at a reduced rate.

Public art museum next to Shukkeien Garden, in the centre of Hiroshima. Opened on 22 September 1968, it was the first public art museum in the whole Chūgoku region; the current building, enlarged onto the site of the former prefectural library, reopened on 6 October 1996.

ℹ️ Open 9:00–17:00 (last entry half an hour before), closed on Mondays (except public holidays, which move the closure to the following day) and at the turn of the year. Ticket for the permanent collection: adults 510 yen, university students 310 yen, high school students and younger free.
