冈之山美术馆应于日本西胁市郊外。西胁市地处大阪西北部,是一个只有4万人口的小城,但它是日本群岛的几何中心点,具有独特的地方风光。出生在这里的日本著名画家横尾忠则为西胁市规划了一个公园,称之为“中心点公园”。冈之山美术馆就建在这个公园里,专为展出横尾的作品而设。由于地段毗邻铁路线,每天有几趟火车经过,因此.建筑师采用了“火车的隐喻”作为冈之山美术馆的建筑形象。如同火车由一节节车厢组成,这样美术馆也包活几个相连的展室单元,其间由前室沟通。横尾生于1986年。自60年代以 The Okayama Art Museum should be located on the outskirts of Nishiwaki, Japan.
