The National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto (MoMAK)
京都国立近代美術館

1963年3月1日、京都国立近代美術館は東京国立近代美術館の分館として現在の場所に設立された。当時の建物は1937に建築されたものを改造したものであったため、美術館活動に極めて不備な点が多く、1967年6月に京都国立近代美術館として独立し、17年後の1986年に新しい建物が建設された。新たに常設展示—近代日本の美術と工芸及び現代世界の工芸—を開設した。

The National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto (MoMAK) was established on its present site on March 1, 1963 as the Annex Museum of The National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo. Its building, formerly the auxiliary building of The Kyoto Municipal Exhibition Hall for Industrial Affairs, was granted from Kyoto City after restoration. On June 1, 1967, The Kyoto Annex Museum officially became The National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto. Seventeen years later, the old building was dismantled and the present building, designed by Mr. Fumihiko Maki, a professor of Tokyo University, and his associates, was completed. The museum was opened to the public on October 26, 1986.
