• Illustration — Aerial photograph of Shizuoka Prefectural Museum of Art (May 1, 2009) Founded in 1986, the 9.240 m 2 (99,458 5 ft 2) museum is located in the vicinity of the University of Shizuoka's (静岡県立大学) Kusanagi campus, on a verdant hill on the northern side of the picturesque Nihondaira Plateau in the southern part of the city.

Paintings by French Impressionists Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro, by Post-Impressionists Paul Cézanne, Paul Signac and Paul Gauguin, and by fauvist Maurice de Vlaminck complement the late XIX th -C collection. The English masters John Constable and Samuel Palmer typify the early XIX th -C school of British landscape painting.

(Work in Progress) [to be expanded] The 400-year history of the Kanō school is one of the main focuses of the museum. Many depictions of Mount Fuji and the Tōkaidō landscape by various Japanese painters can be viewed in the collection as is work by painters associated with the Tokugawa shogunate. Most notable Japanese paintings are works by Taikan Yokoyama (横山 大観), a twentieth century painter, and Jakuchū Itō (伊藤 若冲), an eighteenth century (mid-Edo-period) master, who made a famous set of painted folding screens, called the, using a rare technique he invented, masume gaki (枡目描き). • Illustration — alt=Juka Choju-zu Byobu (樹花鳥獣図屏風, Birds and Animals in the Flower Garden (left panel)) • Illustration — alt=Juka Choju-zu Byobu (樹花鳥獣図屏風, Birds and Animals in the Flower Garden (right panel))

The museum has a number of sculptural works by 1960s artists from a group called GEN-SHOKU, i.e. Shizuoka Kenritsu Bijutsukan, a local avant-garde city-based movement of the XXth century: Issei Koike (小池一誠), Shoji Iida (飯田昭二), Yoshinori Suzuki (鈴木慶則), Morichi Maeda (前田守一) and Katsuji Niwa (丹羽勝次). Some of these artists became involved with later members of the Mono-ha movement.,
