The business days/hours are subject to change in order to prevent the spread of infection by COVID-19, the new coronavirus. Please refer to the official website for details.

This museum exhibits the beautiful works of Mucha, master Art Nouveau illustrator. In Japan, his works are known for being rapidly incorporated into the insert and binding illustrations of works such as Akiko Yosano’s collection of poetry “Midaregami” and the magazine Myojo, where Yosano was active. Mucha was greatly influenced by the art of Japan, in particular the works of the ukiyo-e woodblock prints: In that sense the city of Sakai, a significant point of exchange between east and west in Japan, is the perfect setting for a museum dedicated to his art.
