We believe a museum
is like a port,
where everyone is welcome.
Coming and going,
diverse cultures and
perspectives converge.
The present, the past,
and the future intersect.
Obstacles and boundaries
are overcome.
As the museum
of a diverse port town
open to the world,
we also believe,
that each of our visitors
is like a port.
With free encounters,
abundant discoveries,
and time spent being yourself.
Seeing, creating, learning,
charting your course
into the future
with a wide open outlook.
Even as times change,
Yokohama Museum of Art
is always there,
a place to open
the port of your heart.
Our Vision
- 1．To be a place where everyone is respected and can be themselves
- 2．To be a place of encounters with new people, new things and new ideas
- 3．To be a place where everyone can experience the joy of life
- 4．To spread that joy from the museum to the city
- 5．To be a place where the individual, the city and the world can converge
