This area is called Okazaki Park, a cultural area with Heian Shrine, a library, a museum and a concert hall. It takes about 20 minutes on foot from the Shogun, so it will be a fine walk.

This fine museum holds several major exhibitions a year, as well as a variety of free shows. It's always worth stopping by to see if some thing is on while you are in town. The pond behind the museum is a great place for plenic. **************************************** 这个优秀的博物馆每年举行几个主要展览,以及各种免费演出。 它总是值得停下来,看看是否有一些事情,而你在城里。 博物馆后面的池塘是一个伟大的地方。

"The Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art is located in Okazaki Park where many other cultural facilities are centered. The building has a bronze roof and a unique western style of imperial architecture. The former museum was opened in 1933 as one of the celebration projects of the Emperor Showa’s ascendance to the imperial throne. This is the second earliest opened municipal museum of art in Japan. The museum has a collection of roughly 2,100 art pieces which include Japanese paintings by Takeuchi Seiho, Tomioka Tessai, Uemura Shoen, Kikuchi Keigetsu, Kajiwara Hisako, Kanashima Keika, as well as western paintings, sculpture, crafts, calligraphy and wood block prints. In the past, the museum has hosted a number of large scale special exhibitions featuring parts of the collection from the Louvre, important American museums, etc. Other special exhibitions featuring modern Japanese art and annual regular exhibitions are also popular.
