Yamanashi Prefectural Museum of Art
The Yamanashi Prefectural Museum of Art, opened in 1978, is proud to be the sanctuary of art in Yamanashi, and since its establishment has been known worldwide for housing a substantial Millet collection.

In the quiet, relaxing atmosphere of the wine colored building, visitors can always enjoy avideo about Millet’s life and work.
