Yamanashi Prefectural Museum of Art

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.
