Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art (Sapporo City Chuo-ku) has been holding various art exhibitions since it opened in 1977. This is one of the biggest museums in Hokkaido. They usually borrow masterpieces of famous painters, sculptors, or other artists from other museums in Japan or throughout the world, and show them in temporary exhibitions. Of course, those exhibitions are not free of charge, however, there are some free areas. In the public places inside the building or in the yard, they exhibit sculptures or paintings made by artists who were born in Hokkaido. There are seats for resting.
