About 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa
21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa opened in October 2004 with the stated purpose of “generating new culture and revitalizing its community.” In carrying out the basic functions of an art museum – collecting, preserving, and exhibiting cultural products on the basis of study and research – it has attempted to stay oriented to the present while providing stimulation to traditional culture and contributing to the creation of new culture. Since preparations for establishing the museum were first begun in the year 2000, eighteen years ago, we have made a continuous and determined effort to build a collection of the highest quality, considering this to be one of the most important and fundamental activities of the museum. The goal of our acquisition program will continue to be the systematic formation of a unique collection that is responsive to the current state of the world, focusing on the three types of art specified in the acquisition policy as listed below.
