【Hida-Takayama Museum of Art】 Free Admission Event to Promote the Takayama Citizen's Charter

The Hida-Takayama Museum of Art, which offers new artistic experiences with light, sound, and fragrance (Location: 124-1, 1-chome, Kamiokamoto, Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture, inside Sanctuary Court Takayama / Director: Masaki Mukai), will cooperate with the Takayama Citizen's Charter Promotion Council to promote the 'Takayama Citizen's Charter.' From July 11 (Sat) to 12 (Sun) 2026, the museum will offer free admission to Takayama citizens. This initiative aims to promote one of the clauses of the Takayama Citizen's Charter: 'Cherish culture, utilize tradition, and acquire proper education.' The Takayama Citizen's Charter Promotion Council is conducting this in collaboration with various facilities in the city. The museum supports the council's wish to deepen citizens' attachment to their hometown by rediscovering the charm of the region's cultural arts through interactions with family and friends. We have decided to participate in this initiative. We hope that the Art Nouveau and Art Deco glass artworks housed in our museum will serve as a 'place of education' to cultivate sensitivity in daily life and a 'place of interaction' to spend rich time with loved ones. ■ Overview of Free Admission to Hida-Takayama Museum of Art [Period] July 11 (Sat) and 12 (Sun) 2026 [Time] 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM (Last entry at 5:00 PM) [Target] Takayama citizens [Fee] Free [Items to bring on the day] Please present the following two items upon entry: ① Facility Free Passport inside the July issue of monthly 'SARUBOBO' ② Proof of being a Takayama citizen (Driver's license, health insurance card, My Number Card, etc.) [URL] https://htma.rtg.jp/event/detail/?event=00027 [Inquiries] 0577-40-1007 (Hida-Takayama Museum of Art 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM) ■ Background of this initiative and the 'Takayama Citizen's Charter' The Takayama Citizen's Charter is a guideline for each citizen to love their hometown and build a better society.

Since its opening in 1997, the former Hida-Takayama Museum of Art, which has consecutively received three stars in the Michelin Guide for seven terms, has been succeeded and reborn in 2024 within the 'Sanctuary Court Takayama Art Gallery Resort.' With the concept of 'An atrium where brilliance is unleashed,' we create a fantastical space where light, sound, and fragrance fuse.
