Ishikawa Prefectural Museum of Art ［石川県立美術館］

You can enjoy a wide range of art and crafts from Ishikawa Prefecture, from national treasures to modern and contemporary art.

This comprehensive art museum exhibits masterpieces that Ishikawa Prefecture is proud of, including the National Treasure "Colored Pheasant Incense Burner" (made by Nonomura Ninsei). You can enjoy a wide range of art and crafts unique to Ishikawa Prefecture Prefecture, from ancient art to modern times, such as Kokutani and cultural assets handed down by the Maeda family of the Kaga domain, paintings, sculptures, and crafts by members of the Art Academy and Living National Treasures with ties to Ishikawa Prefecture . Also noteworthy is the theater that utilizes cutting-edge video technology, such as 8K high-definition images and VR (virtual reality), which is the first of its kind in a prefectural art museum in the country. The attraction is that you can see the flow of culture in Ishikawa Prefecture since the Kaga Maeda family, and masterpieces such as national treasures and important cultural properties owned by the Ishikawa Prefectural Museum of Art and Maeda Ikutoku Association from perspectives that you cannot normally see.

Inside the museum, you'll find Le Musee de H KANAZAWA, a patisserie and cafe produced by Hiroaki Tsujiguchi, a world-renowned pastry chef from Nanao City , Ishikawa Prefecture . You can enjoy beautiful original sweets that look like works of art while gazing at the greenery from the large glass windows. The museum shop is also popular, selling original goods such as postcards and note cards related to the exhibits, reproductions of crafts from the museum's collection, and catalogs. There is no admission fee to either shop, so it's recommended to stop by for the cafe or to buy souvenirs.
