history
The previous facility was opened in 1953 on the Higashiyama side of Kyoto on the edge of Ozaki Park . At the time, the museum was a branch of the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo . As part of the strengthening of the profile of the prefectures, the museum became an independent institution in 1967 under its current name. In 1984 the old museum was demolished and replaced in 1986 by a new building, which opened with the exhibition Kyōto School of Nihonga .
