A Landmark Cultural Destination in Kurayoshi

Art lovers have a new reason to visit Tottori Prefecture. The Tottori Prefectural Museum of Art has officially opened in Kurayoshi, bringing with it a dynamic and diverse collection of over 10,000 artworks. Housed in a sleek, modern building, the museum is already becoming a cultural anchor for the region and a must-see destination for both locals and travelers.

Celebrating Local and Global Creativity

The museum’s permanent collection focuses on artists with ties to Tottori, offering insight into the region’s artistic legacy. Works span a variety of mediums and eras, showcasing both traditional and contemporary styles. One of the standout pieces on display is Andy Warhol’s Brillo Box, a bold representation of American pop art that offers a striking contrast to many of the museum's Japanese works. The mix of global icons and local talent creates a unique dialogue between cultures and artistic expressions.
