Toyota Municipal Museum of Art is a museum specializing in modern and contemporary art located in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture. The building, designed by architect Yoshio Taniguchi, features a tranquil space surrounded by a water basin, and is beautiful enough to be considered a work of art in itself. The museum has an open space filled with light, providing an environment where you can concentrate on appreciating art. The museum collects and exhibits excellent works from Japan and abroad, with a particular focus on 20th century art.

The collection is centered on 20th century art, and includes works by the Vienna Secession (Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele), Dada/Surrealism, Daniel Buren, and other representative Japanese modern artists such as Yayoi Kusama, Ryusei Kishida, Ryuzaburo Umehara, and Nami Yokoyama. In addition to these permanent exhibits, high-quality special exhibitions are held throughout the year, allowing you to experience art in a variety of genres.

The museum is surrounded by a spacious garden dotted with sculptures, which you can enjoy strolling through.
