Morioka / Iwate Prefectural Museum of Art
It was opened in 2001 to develop the collections collected and exhibited by Iwate Prefecture and to pass them down to the future as a common property of the people of the prefecture.
The collection mainly consists of works by local artists such as Tetsugoro Mantetsu, Shunsuke Matsumoto, and Yasutake Funakoshi.
The exhibition schedule for 2023 is scheduled to feature Tamako Kataoka, Isao Takahata, and Iwate, so be sure to check out the exhibitions that are being held at that time when you go.
It has a free parking lot that can accommodate about 150 cars, a wheelchair-accessible elevator, and free coin lockers, so be sure to check it out when you're in Iwate.

Tsuchizawa/Mantetsugoro Memorial Museum of Art
It was opened in 1984 to honor Tetsugoro Man, one of the pioneers of modern Japanese art. It was built on Tateyama, which was loved by Man.
The collection is based on the theme of ``Yotomo and Tsuchizawa'' and includes Yokoo's oil paintings, ink paintings, drawings, and other works, as well as notebooks, letters, photographs, and personal effects.
We regularly hold exhibitions themed around the works of artists from Yorozu and Iwate.
It's a little-known museum where you can take your time and appreciate the peace and quiet, so be sure to check it out.

Ninohe / Yasuo Fukuda Design Museum
Opened to mainly exhibit the works of world-famous graphic designer Yasuo Fukuda.
The collection has over 3,000 pieces, and works are exhibited in both permanent and special exhibitions.
In the courtyard, Fukuda's representative work, ``Romanization of the Universe,'' is on display. The design has a playful feel, as you can see different things by changing the angle or perspective.
This is a recommended museum where you can train your art brain. It's a little-known art museum, so be sure to check it out.
