The Hirayama Ikuo Silk Road Museum is a Japanese museum named after the painter and collector Ikuo Hirayama.[1][2]

The museum opened in 2004 in the Yamanashi region of Japan.[3] It is one of the few and significant museums about the Silk Road, to be located outside of China.[4]

Many of the objects of the collection were exhibited in China in 2018–2019.[5]
