🗺️ Hokkaido Asahikawa Museum of Art

The Asahikawa Museum of Art is located in a corner of the expansive Tokiwa Park. Opened in 1982, the red brick building surrounded by greenery, along with the outdoor sculptures that stand out against the blue sky, creates a landscape that is beautifully picturesque. The exhibitions are divided into special exhibitions that broadly introduce domestic and international artists and their works, and permanent exhibitions showcasing works related to the region. Among them, the "Wooden Sculpture" exhibition is particularly spectacular and a must-see.
