The museum has a collection of 249 artworks by Kotaro Migishi, a Sapporo-born painter who died at the tender age of 31years. Seventy of these are permanently exhibited.

Migishi continued to innovate throughout his life. The exhibits include his major works, as well as paintings and letters from his junior high school days. All the exhibits are worth taking time to enjoy, as they demonstrate Migishi’s artistic sense and his attitude of pursuing the world of beauty.

Twice a year, special exhibitions of Migishi’s works are held. Also, recitals and concerts are held in the museum.
