The Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art is a modern and contemporary art museum found along the waterfront in the newly developed HAT Kobe district. It was built as part of the city’s recovery efforts after the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake. It was designed by Ando Tadao, one of Japan’s leading contemporary architects who has designed museums on Naoshima, Omotesando Hills and the Tokyo Sky Tree among other famous buildings.
The museum is the largest of its kind in western Japan. It hosts exhibitions of paintings, prints, sculptures and other artwork by both foreign and Japanese artists. Its permanent exhibition displays a rotating collection of modern and contemporary art and features artists with strong ties to Hyogo Prefecture. The museum also has auditoriums and event space for live music and performing arts, as well as a restaurant, cafeteria and museum shop.
