Hiroshima Museum of Art
About
Located in central Hiroshima, this museum houses an impressive collection of French Impressionist masterpieces—including works by Monet, Renoir, and Picasso—alongside modern Japanese Western-style paintings. Housed in a circular building designed to evoke the Hiroshima Peace Dome, it offers a serene, contemplative space to appreciate world-class art. It is a perfect, calming cultural detour just steps from the Peace Memorial Park.
Insider Tip
Look for the giant horse chestnut tree in the central courtyard, which was grown from a seed of a tree that survived the atomic blast.
