<h5 class="style5b"Kyoto City Kyocera Museum
The Municipal Museum of Art, which was built in 1933, was reborn in March 2020.
The Kyoto City Kyocera Museum of Art is located in Okazaki Park, where Heian Shrine is located.
While making the best use of the space at the time of its construction, the equipment functions have been significantly updated. The basement, which was used as a cloakroom, was changed to an open entrance, and a new shop and cafe were opened.
A permanent exhibition room of about 1000 square meters has been newly established to introduce a wide range of modern and contemporary paintings, sculptures, and crafts.
Currently, admission is restricted by the reservation system, but it is possible to accept viewing on the day without a reservation when the capacity is not reached. Free areas such as cafes, museum shops, and The Triangle can be entered and used without reservation.
