Nagoya City Art Museum

Nagoya City Art Museum, located in Shirakawa Park in central Nagoya, is known for its striking postmodern design by Kisho Kurokawa and its strong collection of modern and contemporary art. The museum features works by Japanese and international artists, with particular strengths in Amedeo Modigliani, École de Paris, and local art connected to the region. Temporary exhibitions add variety throughout the year. It is a worthwhile stop for travelers interested in architecture, 20th-century art, or a quieter cultural break between Nagoya’s major sights.
