In October 1929, Teikoku Art School (帝国美術学校, Teikoku Bijutsu Gakkō, meaning "imperial art school") was founded. In December 1948, it became Musashino Art School (武蔵野美術学校, Musashino Bijutsu Gakkō), and in April 1962, it was renamed Musashino Art University.[2]
From its start, the university taught fine art and industrial design; it later added architecture, fashion, and other fields.
MAU has exchange agreements with universities in other countries. It has a graduate school that awards master's degrees and doctorates.
