Setagaya Art Museum 世田谷美術館(in Japanese) |
The Setagaya Art Museum (世田谷美術館 Setagaya Bijutsukan) is an art museum in Yōga, Setagaya, Tokyo. The museum, which opened March 30, 1986, houses a permanent gallery and mounts seasonal exhibitions.
The main building of the museum, a contemporary design by architect Shōzō Uchii, is on a corner of Kinuta Park at 1-2 Kinutakōen, Setagaya, Tokyo.
The gallery's permanent collection contains a great number of photographs, particularly by Kineo Kuwabara and (numbering in the hundreds) Kōji Morooka. An unusually large exhibition was "Love You Tokyo" (ラヴ・ユー・トーキョー, Rabu Yū Tōkyō) of 1993, which brought together 265 works by Kuwabara and 1479 by Nobuyoshi Araki.
The Setagaya Art Museum maintains three annexes, all within Setagaya Ward.
The Setagaya Art Museum is accessible from the Yōga Station on the Tōkyū Den'en-toshi Line.
