The Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art (京都市京セラ美術館) is located in Okazaki Park in Sakyō-ku Kyoto. Formerly Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art (京都市美術館, Kyōto-shi Bijutsukan), it is one of the oldest art museums in Japan.[1] it opened in 1928 as Shōwa Imperial Coronation Art Museum of Kyoto, a commemoration of Emperor Hirohito's coronation.

Upon renewal of the museum in 2020, Japanese multinational ceramics and electronics manufacturer Kyocera obtained the naming rights and the museum was renamed Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art.
