Takahama City Ceramics Village Kawara Art Museum/Library

Takahama City Ceramic Village Kawara Museum and Library is operated by NOMURA, Ltd. as the designated manager.
It originally opened in 1995 as a museum themed on "tiles" in Takahama City, Aichi Prefecture, the central production area of Sanshu tiles, which boasts the highest production volume in Japan. Since 2008, the management and operation of the museum has been transferred to a designated manager, and from April 2023, it has become a complex cultural facility together with the city library.
Based on the concept of "A forest of connections where people and towns grow," the museum aims to create a cycle of feeling, learning, activity, and interaction by bringing together the art museum, library, and a variety of people.

Through a wide range of exhibitions, including roofing tiles, and a variety of projects that emphasize community collaboration, the museum aims to create a place that brings together a variety of people and experiences, with the slogan "A museum for everyone."
The library provides a familiar reading space for everyone with its main building and three other facilities around the city, and as a "supportive library," it supports daily life through books.
