The Tottori Prefectural Museum of Art, newly opened in Kurayoshi City, Tottori Prefecture, was designed as an open and inclusive cultural hub under the concept of “OPENNESS!” Its mission is to nurture creativity by embracing diverse values and perspectives.
The building was designed by Maki and Associates, the architectural firm led by world-renowned architect Fumihiko Maki. Set in a scenic location overlooking the Ōmidō Temple Ruins (a nationally designated historic site), the building features large overhanging eaves and glass walls that create a seamless connection between the indoors and the surrounding natural environment. One of its highlights is “Hiroma,” a three-story open atrium on the first floor. This welcoming public space can be used for events, gatherings, or simply relaxing between exhibitions.
The museum’s collection includes works by artists with ties to Tottori, such as Kanji Maeda and Shindo Tsuji, and dedicated to promoting local culture and passing it on to future generations. With amenities like a kid-friendly space and a café, the museum offers a welcoming environment for both children and adults. Its approachable design makes it easy to incorporate art into everyday life.
