What other travelers are saying about Kyushu National Museum
I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the Kyushu National Museum. It's a truly modern and stunningly designed building. The exhibits are fantastic, offering deep dives primarily into the art and history of Japan, Korea, and China. Despite being on a tight schedule, I was so captivated that I ended up spending almost three hours exploring the collections.
The Museum is genuinely interesting and the exhibit was overall well explained. It takes you through a tour of Kyushu's history from the Yayoi period up to modern times.
It's nice to see a good museum that wasn't built of stolen artefacts.
Lots of pieces were donated by various countries, really wish that museums back in Europe would do the same and not just keep stolen things forever.
It's worth the detour if you're in Dazaifu for sure!
One of the four national museums, but compared to the one in Tokyo, the one here in Dazaifu falls short in terms of exhibits and size. However, the architecture and the museum grounds were impressive and it's definitely worth a visit should you be in Dazaifu.
I think this is a best place to go and learn ancient kyushu history and also mordernization of kyushu. The exhibits are meaningful and discription is clear. There is a free audio guide at the entrance.
Understand the history of this place make your enjoy and appreciate more of what Kyushu can offer
