What other travelers are saying about Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum
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!
lt was one of the nicest art museum l have ever been, highly recommended. You will be amazed with the collection especially in the end! One of the must-see places in #Nagasaki. lt was not allowed to take pictures which you can have a chance to enjoy pure art without any disturbance :) However, l shared some photos from the garden and hallway, enjoy!
Nice Tadeo Ando building with small but intetesting collection of Spanish art. Interiors are also beautiful. If you don't want to visit the museum you can just have coffee in the cafeyatia with a nice view.
The building itself looks great and the scenery on the roof garden is beautiful as well. Did not visit any of the exhibitions as most Japanese museums do not have English description. Didn’t bother to try
As someone who does not speak Japanese, you will not be able to read 90% of anything. Also in the parts that don’t allow photos, anytime I tried to take out Google translate to read the Japanese words, they stopped me thinking I was taking photos. Then only the temporary and special exhibitions were open so I don’t know why I paid for the base ticket if none of the public gallery was open. The whole thing took 15-20 mins to walk through because I couldn’t read anything. At least the rooftop space is pretty but not worth the price of admission
