Abstract

The exhibition facilities at the Yachiyo no Oka Museum of Art consist of 15 studio buildings. One is used for special exhibitions while the others are assigned to 14 individual artists who display their work there throughout the course of one year. The artists also conduct workshops and go to local elementary and junior high schools to teach painting. This essay discusses the concept of art museums as hubs for educational activities and lifelong learning focusing on this museum's system, which is unique in Japan. A look at the museum and its visitors is followed by a consideration of educational activities conducted in cooperation with artists, based on a questionnaire and interviews. Finally, the results of these educational activities and the challenges they present are summarized and prospects for the future are outlined.
