    Excellent display of Asian but non Japanese art, such as Bali, the Philippines, Burma. In some instances you can see how European training affected Asian art, such as the influence of Impressionism...

    Fukuoka Pref. Kitakyushushimojiku Nishikaigan 1-3-3
    "A five-minute walk from Mojiko Station, this museum introduces the history, culture, and nature of the Kanmon Straits, including the ""Straits Atrium"" where visitors can experience history through fantastic sound and light, the ""Straits Historical Corridor"" where dolls from historical dramas such as the Battle of Dannoura and the Duel at Ganryujima are on display, and the ""Straits Retro Street"" that recreates Taisho-romantic buildings and streetcars. From the exhibition room on the 4th floor, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the Kanmon Straits."

    出先の遅い午後、時間の空きができたので、門司港周りを探索しようと走っていて発見。広い駐車場があるから、先ずはクルマを停めて散策しようと思ったら、このミュージアムが目に止まって入館。お茶とか飲めそうだったしね。 結果、時間に余裕があれば、まったりと過ごせる素晴らしい施設を楽しめたし、お薦めスポットですね。ちなみに当施設は、自治体の共同運営だそうな。その為か、平日の空いた時間でも、結構な人員が配置さ...

    Fukuoka Pref. Fukuokashichuouku Tenjin 5-2-1
    A prefectural art museum located a 10-minute walk from Tenjin Station on the Fukuoka City Subway Kuko Line. Here visitors can view a variety of artwork with a focus on pieces by artists connected to Fukuoka. The museum regularly holds special exhibitions, workshops, and events. In addition, the museum has an art library and cafe and serves as a popular local gathering space.

    I went for Ozumo exhibition. The exhibition itself was interesting. But the building of museum is, as many people commented, quite old, decrepit and less attractive. It needs definitely a renovation.

    秋月博物館のすぐ目の前にある美術館。旧武家屋敷のものであったと思われる立派な門に惹かれて入場したが、展示はすべて高取焼の茶碗。茶器に造詣の深い人なら面白いのだろうが、こちらは全くの素人なので、何がすごいのか今いち、よく分からなかったのが残念。ただし、展示室は心地良い空間で、他の見学者がいなかったので、ゆっくり鑑賞できた。

    とても小さな美術館ですが、アトラクションの少ない直方には貴重な存在です。 当初は1992年に故谷尾欽也氏が開設した美術館。昭和初期に建てられた洋館造りの医院を外観はそのままに内部を改装し、1998年には新館を増設。2000年ご遺族からの寄贈を受け、2001年直方市美術館(直方谷尾美術館)としてオープン。谷尾家と言えば明治屋産業の創業一族として有名ですが、ありがたいですね。

Whether due to its good location or its unique charm, the prefecture’s capital, Fukuoka city, has been voted one of the most desirable places to live in the country - a close-knit community, a thriving food scene, and accessible nature combine for irresistibly laid-back city vibes.
