Manekineko Museum of Art

A dynamically modern university, resolutely open to the whole world, occupies a set of campus buildings scattered near Okayama’s downtown.

Centered on his iconic pieces, the Yumeji women, one of Japan’s most famous cultural figures started a truly aesthetic movement.

Thousands of years of history and a certified national treasure are housed in a museum dedicated to the preservation of Okayama’s long heritage.

Tradition and innovation mingle in a remarkable riverside landscaped space, founded in the 17th century and considered one of Japan’s best gardens.

Some of the city’s and region’s most influential artists, going far back into history, provide a sense of Okayama through artists’ eyes.

This impressive collection of art from the ancient Middle East, Persia and the Mediterranean includes a magnificent Assyrian relief of Apkallu.
