About the Hoki Museum
The Hoki Museum opened on November 3, 2010. Founder Masao Hoki assembled the museum's collection of approximately 500 examples of Realist paintings.
The Museum's building is located next to the verdant Showa-no-Mori Park, Chiba City's largest park, and consists of one above ground and two below ground stories featuring corridor-style galleries comprise 500 meters of exhibition space.  One gallery is cantilevered to appear to be floating in space.
Approximately 150 works by around 60 artists are on display at any one time, including 36 paintings that form Japan's largest collection of works by Sousuke Morimoto. Special displays feature the works of fifteen artists who have produced large-scale works for the museum's "My Best Work" series.
The museum's galleries were designed specifically for the optimum display and appreciation of Realist paintings, featuring picture rail-free walls and the latest technology LED and halogen lighting imbedded in the ceilings.
