What other travelers are saying about Osaka City Museum of Fine Arts
I visited around 2pm on a weekday it was really nice. Not what I expected but still you can go through the rooms and check the history behind lots of artifacts. Worth visiting.
Nice place where you can relax and enjoy the art. Not exactly the biggest museum, but the permanent art exhibition is good and worthy to visit. The garden is nice too so additional 100 Yen is no brainer.
While the garden is a nice brief visit, the museum itself is nearly empty. The only exhibits to be found are on the second floor, and the rest of the museum is either off-limits or simply barren. Maybe in the future their collection will improve but as of now this is a place to skip.
While the Van Gogh exposition was nice, at it put a Japanese touch on the subject, the permanent exposition was disappointing to say the least, both in terms of quantity and of quality. The basement anime style drawing gallery is a nice bonus.
