Promoting Art and Culture
The Daikin Industries Foundation to Promote Modern Art
The world's outstanding artistic and cultural works transcend national borders. Daikin is committed to bringing the joy of these works, and the creativity they inspire, to a wider audience. This desire has compelled Daikin to focus on promoting art and music.
Daikin Industries established the Daikin Industries Foundation to Promote Modern Art to mark the company's 70th anniversary on October 25, 1995. The foundation supports a wide range of projects designed to teach art appreciation, such as exhibitions at the National Museum of Art, Osaka (NMAO), lectures, publications, surveys and research. In 2004, the company marked its 80th anniversary by contributing ¥100 million to the foundation. Our goal is to contribute to the revitalization of culture and art in our home territory of Osaka by promoting museum activities.

National Museum of Art, Osaka
(4 Nakanoshima, Kita-ku, Osaka, Japan Museum director: Akira Tatehata )
Established in 1977 in Expo Park, Suita, NMAO was established to collect, preserve, and conduct research on artworks in order to contribute to Japanese art and spotlight its relationship to art worldwide.
Beloved as Osaka's only national museum, the NMAO was relocated to Nakanoshima in November 2004 due to aging of its former facilities. All the exhibition halls are located below ground in a temperature- and humidity-controlled environment. The new museum contains 13,487 square meters of floor space.
The museum actively represents new artistic trends by presenting exhibits focusing on modern art. In recent years, it has hosted a wide range of educational projects for both adults and children. It clearly plays an important role in promoting the Japanese art world.
