Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art

The Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art is a public art museum on the waterfront of Kobe, Japan. It opened in 2002 in a building designed by the architect Tadao Ando, whose characteristic use of exposed concrete and geometric volumes makes the structure itself one of the city's landmarks. The museum was established in part as a project of cultural recovery following the 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake.

Among the largest art museums in western Japan, it presents both a permanent collection of modern and contemporary Japanese and Western art and a programme of major temporary exhibitions.
