Hachinohe Art Museum Operation & Management Plan

Summary

A body of work running from 2017 for the Hachinohe Art Museum, which opened in November 2021: support for producing the basic management and operation plan, support for the opening, and design of the museum logo. Guided by a commitment to nurturing people and to building the museum together with citizens, it is a new kind of museum whose theme is providing “learning through art” to its community. Its distinguishing feature is that exhibitions, workshops, displays from the collection and curatorial research are not run as separate programmes but influence one another and are delivered together as a single project. In producing the basic management and operation plan we worked in consultation with the client to explore and define how this new model of museum practice could be realised. We also provided support at the time of opening and produced the museum’s symbol mark and logo design (design: LABORATORIES / Kensaku Kato).
