Onomichi City Museum of Art (尾道市立美術館, Onomichi shiritsu bijutsukan) opened in Senkō-ji Park in Onomichi, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan, in 1980. The Museum reopened to a design by Tadao Ando in 2003. The collection includes works by Kobayashi Wasaku (小林和作) and Wada Eisaku (和田英作).[1][2][3][4]
The museum has become notable on the Internet for being visited on a regular basis by two cats, whom the museum guards have to repeatedly turn away due to the museum's strict "no animals" policy.[5][6]
