Mission

The National Crafts Museum opened in Kitanomaru Park, Tokyo, in 1977 as the Crafts Gallery at the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo.
As the only Japanese art museum specialized in crafts and design objects, the museum has continued to publicize and develop the crafts and design culture for more than 45 years including the period when it was known as the Crafts Gallery.
The basic principles of extensively collecting, preserving, studying, and researching different objects from various genres and regions in Japan and overseas have not changed since the museum relocated to Kanazawa, Ishikawa prefecture, in 2020.
Through exhibitions and learning programs, the museum will continue to introduce the fresh appeal of the world of crafts and design from a broad perspective without being preoccupied by form.
As a venue that connects everyone with crafts and design, and the past with the future, the National Crafts Museum presents visitors with a timeless world of plenty.
