Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art

When I visited there, the exhibitin of Tove yasson was holding. There was lots of her works. (Illastrations of magazine and paintings and sketchs if moomin series) It was so interasting and I really enjoyed the exhibition. Overall, atmosphere of museum is cozy. I didn’t drop by a coffeeshop at 2nd floor, but I saw many people took a rest with thier refreshment.

Interesting exhibition today on Tove Jansson creator of the moomins. This exhibition revealed her love of colour, oil painting and writing beyond the famous picture books. However the museum itself had this and one other exhibition - not what I was hoping for. Where is the permanent collection?

Have few hours to spare before my flight and this is a great place to check out what’s exhibiting. There’s two exhibitions and I went for zen gallery. Showcasing Japanese art pieces from 14th century zen temples and its lineage to 2,500 years of Buddhism transmission from India to China and then Japan. Really fortunate to be able to see these fine masterpieces. Parking at nearby Big Shine 88 multistory carpark. Museum ticket for the Zen gallery for adult was ¥1,800.

perfect place to stay. perfect view on the second floor. wonderful souvenirs. staff are very kind and warm.

We visited this place as it has a combined ticket with Hokkaido Village Open Air Museum, we didn't regret it. It was very interesting space to see the art exhibition that influenced by Hokkaido/Ainu's culture. Also ... It has giant sculptures of 🦣 hehehehe INTERESTING

One of my favorite art museums of all time. The way it was organized and curated was so open yet with distinctive areas to gravitate toward. I absolutely loved the installation by glass artist Aoki Mika. Couldn’t stop crying while walking through. “The Aquarium of Life and Death”. The best part was the seating area on the second floor where you could buy a coffee and sit in front of the windows overlooking the park and the sky and watch the light move across the buildings and the wind and the snow. And everyone else is sitting quietly doing the same. A very affordable and unique afternoon.

The show, master artist Kunioshi, was great but from the 1800’s. Hardly modern art. Other show on artist books/folios was modern in the sense of French impressionists and rather poor selection of printed material though interesting from an historical perspective. They had some beautiful glass works in the new Aquisitions area. Need to show more of that.

Compared to other museums, the exhibits are really not that many, nor very interesting as well. I came on a day without special exhibits. Do bear in mind you have to pay 510 yen per person. I think the cost performance is lacking here. It took us less than 30 minutes to finish the visit. Might want to give it a miss unless you have no other places to go.

its a beautiful museum in sapporo. part and small forest qround and we csn tske a walk with natural wind. sometimes big colabolation art gallarey come out. take time and enjoy.
