What this is

The Miyagi Museum of Art marks its 45th anniversary with a major collection exhibition featuring approximately 7,000 artworks from its permanent holdings. The exhibition spans Japanese modern and contemporary art from the Meiji era onwards, alongside significant holdings of German Expressionism and international works. This comprehensive showcase explores the dynamism and evolution of modern and contemporary art across different cultures and movements. Partial display rotations throughout the exhibition period and special loans added in the second half ensure repeat visits offer fresh perspectives.

Art enthusiasts and museum-goers interested in Japanese modern art and German Expressionism will find this comprehensive collection exhibition particularly rewarding. The scale and diversity of the 7,000-work collection makes it suitable for both casual visitors seeking an introduction to modern art and serious collectors studying specific movements. The rotating displays and second-half additions mean visitors can return multiple times to see different works from the permanent collection.
