Umi-Mori Art Museum lies amid the beauty of nature on a plateau overlooking the Seto Inland Sea. The museum’s unique collection includes paintings by Seiho Takeuchi and other modern Japanese artists. It also features perfume flacons from Europe, woodblock prints from Qing dynasty China, and early-modern narrative picture scrolls from Japan. The museum holds 3 to 4 exhibitions a year to display this collection to the general public. It also holds workshops and other educational activities that offer visitors a unique opportunity to experience the artistic and cultural heritage of various countries and regions.

The museum houses a collection of approximately 500 works of art assembled over half a century by Yumiko Shimose, President of Marui Sangyo Corporation, including many pieces inherited from her parents and co-founders of the company, Fukuei and Shizuko Shimose. The museum is a work of art itself, featuring eight movable exhibition rooms that appear to float on water in a design by Shigeru Ban that was inspired by the islands of the Seto Inland Sea.

 Hiroshima Drawing Lab (HDL) was established in 2020 in Teppocho, Naka Ward, Hiroshima City. In today’s transient society, forms of expression have become increasingly diversified, and drawing in particular has played an important role in creating art.

Okuda Genso Sayume Art Museum is named after Japanese painter Genso Okuda and doll artist Sayume Okuda. The museum resonates with the different art styles of two-dimensional Japanese painting and three-dimensional dolls. It also aims to reflect the nature and art of Miyoshi City, and serves as a center for the promotion of art and artistic culture.
Throughout the years, Genso Okuda sketched in the midst of nature in dialogue with the landscape, expressing seasonal changes. On the other hand, using human figures to convey emotions, Sayume Okuda explores themes such as coexistence with nature and mother-child affection. Through the donation of their works, a long-held dream of the couple - which was to create a museum where their works are carefully preserved to prevent loss or destruction - was realized in their hometown, Miyoshi City.

The activities of the Higashihiroshima City Museum of Art range from the collection, preservation, and utilization of artwork to special exhibitions and related lectures to introduce outstanding creative artists and their work.

The museum's collection focuses on "modern and contemporary prints," "contemporary ceramics," and "works related to the local area," and is continuously growing. The former museum, which did not have a permanent exhibition room, used to hold special exhibitions of work from the museum collection twice a year, but now the second-floor exhibition room is the main venue for presenting the museum's collection.

Special exhibitions include exhibitions introducing outstanding works of art from Japan and abroad, the "Exhibition of Illustrations by Contemporary Picture Book Artists," which has been held since 1982, and self-produced exhibitions of art and thematic exhibits related to the local area.

In addition, the museum holds a wide range of activities to promote local art and culture, including lectures, workshops, and other events related to the exhibitions, explanations of artwork by curators, and cooperation with art appreciation and school classes as part of educational outreach activities.
