About the Panasonic Shiodome Museum of Art

The Panasonic Shiodome Museum of Art opened in April 2003 on the 4th floor of what is now the Panasonic Tokyo Shiodome Building. The Museum is home to a collection of about 260 works by French artist Georges Rouault (1871–1958), which include paintings and some of his best-known prints from every stage of his career. These works are displayed either in the permanent Rouault Gallery–the only one in the world named after the artist. The Museum also organizes a variety of exhibitions in its main gallery that are primarily based on one of three themes: art that relates directly or indirectly to Rouault, architecture and living spaces, and design and applied arts. The Museum makes use of its urban location to provide a distinctive cultural space that can enrich the sensibilities and lives of the public through contact with art that can move and inspire.
