History
Bijutsukantoshokanmae Station opened on 13 April 1924 on the Fukushima Iizaka Tramway (now Fukushima Kōtsū) under the name Moriai. It became part of Fukushima Denki Tetsudō (later Fukushima Kōtsū) following the company's merger in October 1927, and was closed in July 1942 when the Fukushima–Moriai section was converted from street-running to a dedicated alignment; it was rebuilt on the new route on the same day. The station gained its present name on 1 April 1991 to advertise the adjacent Fukushima Prefectural Museum of Art and Prefectural Library, which had replaced the former Fukushima University Faculty of Economics campus. A refurbished station building was completed in November 2023.
Notes
The station began as Moriai, the original stop of that name on the Fukushima Iizaka Tramway, and in 1942 it was moved to a new site when the Fukushima–Moriai section gave up its on-street alignment.
