The Kawamura Memorial DIC Museum of Art in Sakura City, Chiba Prefecture, has announced that it will close its doors in late January 2025. As its name suggests, this museum is operated by DIC Corporation, and was built to showcase the collections of three generations of the Kawamura family, including the company's founder, Kijuro Kawamura. Investors have suggested that the company consider “downsizing and relocation” or “discontinuing operation of the museum” in anticipation of relocating to Tokyo. Apparently, considering the operating costs, it is difficult to continue operating the museum in its current state.
The Kawamura Memorial DIC Museum of Art opened in 1990, in the midst of the bubble economy. Museums built during the economic boom boasted ample space and unique buildings. Many have praised the museum not only for its collection, but also for its building and gardens. This will probably disappear. As the Japanese economy continues to shrink, I feel that an era has begun in which things that are not directly related to our daily lives, such as art museums built during the bubble economy, are slowly disappearing from this country. The Itabashi Art Museum, which I visited on this day, is publicly operated, so it will probably not disappear so easily, but one cannot be too careful.
