What other travelers are saying about Furukawa Art Museum

I was lucky to see the Nagoya local artist paintings on exhibition, it was a marvelous experience looking at the different scenes of the city that I recognize and the artist's interpretation. Get the combo ticket. BTW I confirmed with the ticketing agent that photography is allowed, just no videography and flash photography.

This is such a magnificent museum with two parts. Start at the old building which is conserved as a traditional tea house. Enjoy the art and the wonderful quiet and greenery. Then walk down the road to the modern art museum and enjoy the more modern paintings.

Thank you for a wonderful time. This place truly is Nagoya local gem. Do buy a combo ticket for 800yen if you show their webpage, but sold exclusively at the main building. Easy excess from the station but a very limited parking place which was hard to find thus ended up wasting 800yen extra. However, things on display were amazing and despite the limited number of items, it is a very nice place to come with your kid and introduce the art Do visit their cafe that offers absolutely yummy traditional sweets and has a stunning garden to appreciate while sipping on Matcha. YES RECOMMENDED for kids 4+

The unspoken secret. Not a big gallery but the residence gallery section is a perfect getaway from the hustle bustle. Not recommend for kids under 12.
