Beautiful collections

 

Like any modern art museum around the world, the Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art began its collection at the end of the 19th century .

It is in this case, for Japan, the Meiji era , covering a period from 1868 to 1912. This crucial period sees the birth of modern Japan, during a period of reforms and novelties.

The rooms thus present works by artists associated with Hokkaido during this period until the end of the 20th century.
