Shimane Art Museum, standing on the shore of Shinjiko Lake, is an art museum with the theme of harmonizing with water.
From March to September, we are open until 30 minutes after sunset to allow you to enjoy the view of Shinjiko Lake at dusk from the museum, which was selected in the ‘Japan Sunset Best 100.’
Shimane Art Museum maintains a collection of about 1,600 Katsushika Hokusai works. From amongst these pieces, this collection includes some of his most representative works and valuable pieces that are the only ones in existence, and about 40 of his works are always on display in our HOKUSAI Gallery. This is one of the few art museums in the entire world where you can encounter a solid quantity of Hokusai art whenever you visit.
