Chairs are the main focus, but there are also various other works like cars and paintings, so there was plenty to see! The affordable prices of the catalogs and such also left a good impression. You could sit on the chairs on display, and they even opened a car door to show us the inside, so it was rich in hands-on experiences too. It's a really wonderful museum. As for the chairs, there was even a piece that appeared on the cover of Spy x Family, so I felt it's an exhibition with some buzz to it too. The curator was a lovely person as well, and thanks to them I had a really great time.

This is a museum in the Murauchi Furniture Access Hachioji store, famous for the catchphrase "For furniture, it's Murauchi Hachioji." I'd heard it was Japan's first museum themed on a "collaboration of furniture and paintings," and I'd wanted to visit it for a long time. On a floor lined with works by renowned furniture designers, viewing a space where paintings, mainly Western-style, cover an entire wall while sitting in the "Chair of the Month" is an experience you can only have at the Murauchi Art Museum. By the way, April's chair was the 《Valet Chair》 by Hans J. Wegner. Please take hard items like keys and keychains out of your pockets and put your backpacks and bags down on the floor before sitting.

I was completely captivated by the one-of-a-kind space of the "collaboration of paintings and furniture." It was absolutely wonderful! Coming across works by Vlaminck, which share something with Yuzo Saeki and Takanori Oguiss, was a pleasant surprise, and the loving atmosphere radiating from the works of Renoir and Tsuguharu Foujita deeply soothed me; I wanted to keep gazing at them forever. Also, the way Gallé's glasswork, Tiffany stained glass, elaborate table clocks, and more blend naturally into the space was truly splendid, and I made new discoveries in every corner I walked through. A place where you can feel "beauty" with all five senses so leisurely is a real luxury. I'd definitely love to come back to spend some precious time there again.

■When Saturday, November 14, 2025 Visited at 14:15 ■Crowds ・Number of people: 2 ・Density: Not crowded ・Comfort: Could leisurely view each piece one by one ■Viewing time About 45 minutes ■Price 600 yen ■Personal highlights/painters 58 chairs and 115 artworks are on display (as of 2025.11). So more artworks, especially paintings, are on display than chairs. The paintings range from the 19th-century Barbizon school to the present day. Famous painters include Millet, Courbet, and Renoir. Unexpectedly, there's a Kaii Higashiyama, and from his later years at that, so I was happy to get to see it. However, I was surprised by Kyosuke Chinai's work in the last area of the museum. He was a painter I hadn't known until today, but the eerie Japanese-horror vibe was captivating. …That said, I thought it doesn't really fit a furniture store (lol). ●Painters ・Kaii Higashiyama, Renoir, Courbet, Kyosuke Chinai ■Overall Since it's a museum inside a furniture store, I went in without expecting much. But it was pretty good. There were many works by famous painters, but Kyosuke Chinai's Japanese horror left a strong impression. I can recommend it even to those who aren't very interested in chairs. By the way, as an admission perk, you get the "Meihinsen (Selected Masterpieces)" for free.
