Gallery tips for Sendai

How the regulars do Sendai's galleries:

• Check the gift shop at ギャラリー杜間道. Prints, artist books, and the occasional affordable original. The gift shop funds the programming.
• Photography rules vary at TFUギャラリーミニモリ. Some galleries welcome photos, others forbid them. Look for the sign at the door rather than guessing.
• Bring a curious friend. Art is better with someone to argue with about it. The disagreement is the point.
• Buy the catalogue. Exhibition catalogues are the affordable art book. They sell out after the show closes.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Sendai — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new art gallery in Sendai can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 4, or a art gallery we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.

We don't review exhibitions — shows change too fast. What we list is the where: real galleries, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 4 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
