Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art (075-771-4107)

This public art museum was established as The Japan's second largest museum in 1933. It houses some 2,100 paintings and craft works from the Meiji Period, mainly by artists associated with Kyoto. Exhibitions of its permanent collection are held four times a year.

Masterpieces from the Permanent Collection II:
"Chromatic Symphony:Mixing and Arranging Colors"

The Exhibition will trace the ideas and meaning of colors by means of the way in which the works of artists from many fields, selected from the Museum's collection, are being displayed together. Features of Kyoto reflected in the colors of the works will be found in the materials, techniques and historical and cultural backgrounds related to the production of the colors. The exhibits include works by Hisako Kajiwara, Noboru Kitawaki, Taizo Yoshinaka and Seika Yamaga.

One Hundred Years of Painting in Paris:
"The City of Renoir,Cezanne, and Utrillo, 1830-1930"

The exhibition, whose main themes are the city of Paris and the people living there, features works from the collections of museums in Paris. Paris was transformed into a modern city by the building of new bridges across the River Seine, by the creation of parks and fountains and by the construction of the Eiffel Tower, which was completed for the Exposition Universelle in 1889.
The exhibition shows how new styles of urban landscape and pictures of people in Paris were painted by artists who were either born in or moved to Paris. Some 120 works by Renoir, Utrillo and Rodin, including Cezanne's "Temptation of St. Anthony" will be on display in Japan for the first time.
