What other travelers are saying about Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum
There are places that is open to the public for free. Its nice to roam around the free areas and the rooftop garden. There is also a cafe in the 2nd floor. I like this museum :)
Ths museum is close to Dejima, so I gave it a visit after visiting the latter. The museum was peaceful and quiet when I went on a weekday afternoon. I visited the permanent collection and saw lots of great art. The gift shop had a lot of cute and interesting items. Museum also had a Ghibli exhibition, but had to give it a miss since I was short on time.
It’s a beautiful museum, the architecture itself is worth coming. However, one of the exhibitions was only in Japanese and we were not allowed to take photos, so we could also not use our google lens translation app. The exhibitions had the perfect length -not too short, not too long - and we also had some good tea and cheesecake in the coffee shop.
What a gem!!! Gallery space isn’t huge and is free and has a good run of Spanish art and another more of Japanese art. There are also special exhibitions you have to pay for but needn’t visit if you don’t want to.
There is a good small cafe / restaurant on the first floor with great views. The lunch offerings are good but run out by 1.30.
on the roof is a large area with some sculptures that gives you a free and spectacular view of Nagasaki.
The architecture is worth the trip alone!
Very nice museum, visited multiple times already for different expositions and looking forward for more in the future. View from the rooftop is beautiful.
