 The
Museum of Kyushu Sangyo University opened in April 2002, as the first university
museum in Kyushu. The museum aims to vitalize art education and research
and to contribute to the promotion of local cultural and art activities through
collaboration and exchange with local communities in northern Kyushu.
The art museum boasts a collection of approximately 700 works covering a
wide range of genres, such as painting, printing, sculpture, ceramic art,
dyeing and weaving, metal crafts, design and photography. In April 2002,
the Fukuoka Prefectural Board of Education designated as a "museum-equivalent
institution" in terms of museum law. The museum functions as an OJT
facility for students in KSU's curator training course.
The museum serves as a cultural center for local residents to enjoy seeing
works of art, and also regularly holds the Creativity Education Program for
children, students, seniors and people with disabilities.
The museum received the 18th Fukuoka Urban Beautification Award (general
sector) from Fukuoka City in FY 2004, and the 5th Fukuoka Prefecture Ambitious
Youth Program Award (group award) in FY 2007.
