Hiroshima, Hiroshima / 広島市現代美術館

Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art

Opened on May 3, 1989 as Japan's first public museum devoted fully to contemporary art, on green Hijiyama Park overlooking the city. The building by the architect Kisho Kurokawa changes material from natural stone to tile to aluminum as it rises, expressing the passage of time and the development of civilization from past to future. "Hiroshima" is one of the key themes of its collection and exhibitions.
