Located inside Tennoji Park, the Osaka City Museum of Fine Arts has been showcasing world-class Japanese and Chinese art since 1936. It is built on the former Sumitomo family estate. The museum was established alongside the Keitaku-en Garden, a scenic retreat gifted to the city of Osaka.

The museum’s collection covers a wide range of disciplines. Many pieces come from former private collections of Kansai business magnates, making for a uniquely diverse selection.

The main building houses special exhibitions and showcases National Treasures and Important Cultural Properties. The basement exhibit rooms host public exhibitions by various art organizations.
