Past event

Long revered as a hub of culture in Japan, Kyoto has had a connection to the arts for centuries. This connection is celebrated at the Kyoto City Kyocera Museum with a special exhibition titled "250 Years of Fine Arts in Kyoto".

The exhibition covers three specific stages of art history in this part of Japan. The stages are:

From Edo to Meiji: A leap to modern times
From Meiji to Showa: The rise of Kyoto painters
From Postwar to the Present: Challenges of the Future

The works on display include paintings, sculptures, folding screens, furniture, and more. Adult admission to the exhibition is 1600 yen.

The Kyoto City Kyocera Museum is located approximately 8 minutes on foot from Higashiyama Station, served by the Tozai Subway Line.

For those who plan to drive to the museum, it is located around 7 kilometers from the Meishin Expressway's Kyoto Higashi IC exit. There are paid parking lots nearby to the museum, but taking public transportation is recommended.
