Standing in the forest of art, a unique museum that stimulates aesthetic senses

Nagoya City Art Museum, located in Shirakawa Park in the Sakae district, is a gem. Designed by the renowned Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa, its unique design is captivating, harmonizing Western and Japanese, classical and modern art in a carefully calculated manner.

Journey to Exquisite Beauty

From the archway-style design at the entrance, the extraordinariness is already evident. What appears to be unnecessary frames and three-dimensional structures actually materialize the architectural concept. Once inside the museum, one is sure to be captivated by the meticulously crafted spatial beauty.

Treasure trove of diverse special exhibitions

The permanent exhibition includes Western masterpieces such as the impressionists. However, the most unmissable are the high-quality special exhibitions. These include the

It was fascinating!! There were multiple different sections for multiple different science topics, my favourite one is the space section!! There is a place where you could go in and lay your self down on a massage chair something like that. Then it will show a screen of stars a journey of the whole GALAXY!! The simulation was impressive and amazingly beautiful! Overall Highly recommended to spent time with your family, friends or your own time!!

I went to see the Grandma Moses exhibition. Even though we went at opening time, there were a lot of people. There were so many wonderful works that it is hard to believe that she first picked up her brush at the age of 78. Some of the works that left an impression on me were purchased as postcards and kept. I was glad to see Jonathan Borofsky's Hammering Man in front of the exhibition hall. This is because Korea also has the world's largest hammering man at a height of 22m.

Went there for the permanent exhibition, not Gaudi. Gaudi exhibition is 1,800yen and the permanent one is 300yen. No taking pictures. Well, it is normal not that amazing art works but good. The only problem is that there is not English explanation at all… Overseas tourists become to visit Nagoya, so I think Nagoya city need to prepare the globalization. Anyway staff are all amazing and you can pay the ticket for the permanent exhibition on B1F in front of the entrance.

I personally didn't like it. They don't allow you to take pictures. Who goes to a museum which doesn't really have new art, only old school style, already shared everywhere else and doesn't let you take photos. Quite overpriced I would say. Nothing very important and meaningful to see. I would say check the museum next to it, the science one.
