The Niigata Prefectural Museum of Modern Art was opened in 1993 in the rich greenery of the Senshugahara Furusato no Mori Park in Nagaoka City. The museum is built on the Taiko collection which was put together by a local collector, but in addition to Japanese works that show the evolution of modern art, we have gathered 19th century western art which are closely related to modern Japanese art, and display them in our exhibitions. The Niigata Bandaijima Art Museum opened in 2003 as an annex of the Niigata Prefectural Museum of Modern Art. It is an art museum located within the Toki Messe complex in the Bandaijima district of Niigata City, overlooking the mouth of the Shinano River.
