🎨 What is the Ōhara Museum of Art?

The Ōhara Museum of Art is an exceptional place founded in 1930 by Magosaburō Ōhara, an enlightened patron and passionate about Western art. Located in Kurashiki, within the Okayama Prefecture, this Japanese private museum was the first to exhibit major European paintings in Japan, at a time when the East was discovering with wonder the colors of Impressionism.

The museum houses a permanent collection of significant scale: works by Monet, Renoir, Cézanne, Matisse, Sisley… but also contemporary Japanese pieces, in a neo-Greek architecture reminiscent of the great temples of antiquity. This fusion of aesthetics makes the Ōhara Museum a unique cultural destination in Asia.

A true bridge between civilizations, the Ōhara Okayama Museum embodies the rise of Western art in Japan, while maintaining a distinctly Japanese identity in its calm atmosphere, gardens, and museum park.
