Dedicated to creators connected to the region, the Matsumoto City Museum of Art is best known as the ultimate tribute to avant-garde icon Yayoi Kusama, who was born in the city. Visitors are greeted right at the entrance by whimsical, dot-covered outdoor installations before stepping inside to explore permanent galleries filled with her vibrant paintings, pumpkins, and mirrored spaces. Alongside Kusama's internationally celebrated masterpieces, the museum showcases fine works by other regional and contemporary Japanese artists. It is an inspiring, visually dazzling stop that brings modern art vividly to life against the backdrop of the Japanese Alps.
