Kake Museum of Art

Kake Museum is a gallery that doubles as an art museum located in the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter in Okayama Prefecture. == Overview == This art gallery of the Kake Gakuen Group was established on the site of the Kurashiki Ninagawa Art Museum (established in 1972, closed in 2000), which once existed in the same area and whose main collection was Romano-Greek art. However, while the former Ninagawa Museum of Art mainly dealt with Roman and Greek art from the collection of its founders, Akira Ninagawa and his wife, the Kake Art Museum deals with contemporary art, mainly by graduates of the Kake Gakuen Group. Opened in April 2002 as a place for exchange and information dissemination, primarily for students and alumni of Kurashiki University of Arts and Sciences and Kibi International University. Since then, we have exhibited works by graduates of both universities, planned exhibitions by students, alumni, and alumni, and works by users of local welfare facilities (for example, vocational centers and small workshops). Currently, the name ``Kurashiki University of Arts and Sciences Kake Art Museum'' is used, and as a base for transmitting art and culture, the museum operates based on the three pillars of educational support, artist support, and welfare support.It also functions as a university-affiliated art museum, storing the works of students who have achieved excellent results, and holding graduate school completion exhibitions. On the fourth floor, there is a ``Tsutomu Kake Memorial Corner,'' an exhibit that summarizes the life and achievements of the group's founder, Tsutomu Kake, as well as the medals, awards, and degrees he received, and is essentially a permanent exhibition. == History == Opened in 2002 (Heisei 14) 2007 (Heisei 19) Tsutomu Kake Memorial Corner opened == Floor == It has a total of 5 floors.
