It was a beautiful museum. Well curated, and they showcase children's community art. Our child was one of them. We really love seeing other arts; they have crafts, paintings, and many good children's art pieces. We love to be here. Although the officer seems really strict, we believe it's because they want to protect the art from the original. I saw many children also come. 😎🥳

Thank you Itabashi art museum for displaying beautiful arts of elementary school students including our daughter's. They have tidy and clean atmosphere. But you have to keep an eye if you have smaller child for not touch the displays.

Perhaps due its location outside the center of the Metropolis, or perhaps due to its image as more of a community-oriented public art museum, Itabashi Art Museum is one of Tokyo’s most underrated and well-curated museums. The building itself is unique, and opened on May 20, 1979, Itabashi Art Museum was the first municipal art museum to open in the 23 wards of Tokyo. In 2019, the 40th anniversary of the opening of the museum, the building underwent major renovations to modernize its facilities to meet the changing needs of the community and to help expand museum activities. The museum’s collections are mainly focused on the early modern paintings from the Edo Kano school, avant-garde art from the Taisho to early Showa eras, and works by artists associated with Itabashi City. Itabashi Art Museum mainly holds special exhibitions that introduce Edo culture and Ikebukuro Montparnasse. The museum shop is not large, by any standard, but you will likely find something interesting there. If you love Japanese art, bring some extra cash and allow yourself a good hour or so to peruse museum shop offerings.

I love this place because the architecture is so nice, there is a plum blossom field and park nearby, and Tokyo big Buddha is not far. The exhibitions are pretty nice too.

An hours trip from central Tokyo and a long walk from the Nishi- Takashimadaira station. The current exhibition shows Japanese modernists. As an European one has seen millions of similar creations, so the museum doesn't really offer much of interest. Some artists' creative works, though, were exhibited: by i.g. Ishii shigeo, Tatsuo Ikeda and Takayama Ryosaku. Maybe the timing of my visit was unlucky. They have a lot more interesting exhibitions in the past. This time, it wasn't worth the effort.
