MIYANOMORI ART MUSEUM, SAPPORO opened in April 2006 in the Miyanomori Museum Garden, a former wedding hall, as the first museum of contemporary art in Hokkaido.

And now, after a seven-year closure to renovate its facilities, Miyanomori International Museum of Art, Sapporo (MIMAS) will reopen its doors under the new name, J Art Foundation. A partial Grand Opening will be held on May 2, 2025.

The opening highlights include ”Proliferating Immense Life on Church Ruins – A Whole Year Per Year”, a work by teamLab, a globally acclaimed pioneer of innovative digital art, along with exquisite pieces by some of Japan’s leading contemporary artists—Yoshitomo Nara, Kohei Nawa, Noe Aoki, Shiro Matsui, and Masayuki Nagare—displayed in the courtyard.

We invite you to experience a special moment when light, space, nature, and art resonate.
