Welcome Back, Yokohama
Reopened in February 2025 after a comprehensive renovation, the Yokohama Museum of Art is making a triumphant return with this exhibition highlighting local art and history through the perspective of diversity. Shining a light on various people who lived in Yokohama prior to the city’s opening to foreign trade in 1859, the show seeks to offer new viewpoints on familiar artworks while imparting insight on lesser-known periods and episodes in the city’s past.
In addition, the exhibition serves as a ‘greatest hits’ display showcasing highlights from the museum’s collection of modern and contemporary art, including works by Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso, René Magritte and Yoshitomo Nara. If you’re visiting with children in tow, make sure to check out the kids’ section, where artworks are hung low on the walls for easy viewing.
