About Yokohama-shi culture fund

The Yokohama Cultural Fund, one of Yokohama's hometown tax payments, was established in 1981 to construct museums and other cultural facilities and to purchase works stored in Yokohama Museum of Art. Since then, to this day, in addition to the reserve fund from Yokohama City, many people, including citizens and companies, have received large amounts of warm donations.
The artworks collected by the Cultural Fund have totaled 5,376 works, including Cezanne's "Mrs. Cezanne wearing striped clothes" and Dali's "geographic portrait of Gala", and in recent years, Yoshitomo Nara's "Spring Girl" We continue to collect such things.
(As of March 31, 2024, Yokohama Museum of Art's art collections totaled 15,265 items, including 5,376 items purchased and 9,889 items donated.)
We look forward to your continued support and cooperation in order to nurture such valuable assets of Yokohama citizens.
