Takahama City Ceramics Village Kawara Art Museum/Library

The Takahama City Pottery Village Kawara Museum and Library is operated by NOMURA Co.,Ltd. as the designated administrator.
Initially, it opened in 1995 as an art museum themed around "tiles" in Takahama City, Aichi Prefecture, a central production area for Sanshu tiles, which boast the largest production volume in Japan. Since 2008, management and operation have been transferred to a designated management company, and since April 2023, it has become a multi-purpose cultural facility together with the municipal library.
Based on the concept of "A Forest of Connections Where People and the Community Grow," we aim to create a further cycle of feeling, learning, activity, and exchange through the interaction of the art museum, library, and various people.

Through exhibitions covering a wide range of fields, including roof tiles, and diverse projects that focus on community collaboration, the museum aims to create a place where various people and ideas can come together, under the slogan "The Museum for Everyone."
The library, with its main branch and three other locations throughout the city, provides a familiar library space for everyone, and as a "supportive library," it is there for you in your daily life through books.
