The Yamanashi Prefectural Museum of Art opened to the public in 1978. Today, we continues the commitment to promote art culture. Starting with the first acquisition, Jean-François Millet's The Sower, the museum has expanded its collection including other works by Millet, other Barbizon School artists and major European landscape artists. The museum has thus come to be known as the "museum of Millet". Furthermore, we have rich collections of modern and comtemporary Japanese artists. Thanks to many individuals' generous donations, today the museum's collection amounts to approximately 10,000 works. In 2004, the South Wing was added to the main building, offering more space for exhibitions, additionally in 2009, Millet Wing has opened, which is especially for works by Millet and Barbizon School artists.

For anyone with an interest in textiles this is a must see. Take the time to watch the short film first to understand what you are looking at as the techniques used are incredibly complex. I had never seen anything like it. Every piece is a work of art. It is quite a story of a person following their passion and perfecting it. The gardens and shop are lovely as well.

If you are an art lover and especially a fan of Yayoi Kusama, this museum showcased her art mind from the moment before you step into the compound and throughout the museum. Unfortunately there's no photography allowed inside the museum. Yayoi Kusama's art displays are on the 3rd floor. You could walk up the grand staircase or take the lift. Oh, one more thing, you are not allowed to bring your bag into the gallery, to prevent vandalism and probably accidental damage to the artworks. There's a locker for you to keep your staff though. No worry. The first artwork of Yayoi Kusama is the the great pumpkin. It was a magnificent piece of sculpture. Apart from her polkadotsy artworks, you'll get to see her other intricate works. If you look close enough, you'll see how she painted herself into her works. There are also amateurs artworks on the 2nd & 3rd floor galleries as well. There are some really great works on display including sculpture. Take your time enjoying these great work of arts. If you don't mind walking, its about 10 to 15mims walk from Matsumoto Station.
