Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art

The Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art opened in July 1977 in central Sapporo with the concept of creating a general modern art museum with both regional and international dimensions. Since then, with the fundamental philosophy of being open to the community and a gateway to local art culture, we have served as a cultural center for Hokkaido through the collection, preservation, and display of artworks as well as education, research, and promotion of local culture.

The world is changing fast - both in our local communities, which are the foundation of art museums, and in the domestic and global circumstances that affect art museums. Various trends, such as the move towards more symbiotic societies and globalization, also have profound effects. Through it all, the Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art is working to keep up with these changes while remaining true to our core philosophy and valuing the accomplishments we have made, with the goal of further refining ourselves to serve as a place of relaxation and learning that brings to everyone the enriching experience of enjoying art.
