Introduction

In spring 2016, after about a year of renovation, Takamatsu City Art Museum reopened. The museum, located next to the central commercial street, is a modern and tranquil art attraction, and a "square" where citizens gather. The museum's collection, centered around "Modern Japanese Art after World War II", "World Art after the 20th century", and "Art and Crafts of Kagawa", consists of over 1,600 art pieces. It has received high acclaim both domestically and internationally, and its collection of modern art is considered top notch in terms of quality and quantity in Japan. These modern art pieces have showcased the creativity of the city of Takamatsu in various art trends, such as the Setouchi International Art Festival, and have built a cultural platform, making them a living art archive. Takamatsu City Art Museum introduces diverse art and actively engages in new activities while also cherishing its rich history. It was the first local public art museum in Japan, established in 1949 in the famous Ritsurin Park, and relocated to the current central street in 1988 after the opening of the Seto Ohashi Bridge. In the future, the museum, reborn in 2016, will continue to value the deep emotional connection of its predecessors to cultural arts, unite with the citizens, and grow together with the times.
