Hiroshima Museum of Art was established in 1978 by Hiroshima Bank to exhibit its private collection. The European and Japanese paintings are displayed in five galleries. One is devoted to “Romanticism to Impressionism” including artists such as Monet and Renoir. The “Post-Impressionists and Neo-Impressionists” has works by Van Gogh and Toulouse-Lautrec. The other galleries are called “Fauvism and Picasso,” “École de Paris” and “Modern Japanese Paintings.”
