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.
Kyushu National Museum houses curatorial works and plays an important role to safekeep ancient artefacts and conduct scientific research to preserve cultural properties.
As my travelling companion is not too into historical pieces, I will keep this in view for my next visit.
Still, we thank the facility for provide a well needed respite for my mum when I climbed Tenkai Inari. From what I heard, she enjoyed herself listening to the piano performance during her break.
All the reviews are accurate - just posting to say 1. The restaurant outside is quite good, and 2. There is a LOT of English signage, including explanations of nearly every exhibit. Great place for a visiting tourist to learn more about Kyushu and Japan - no need for an audio guide (in case you, like me, find those annoying). You can read and browse at your own pace and learn a lot.
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!
