What other travelers are saying about Osaka City Museum of Fine Arts
Went to a Buddhist sculpture exhibition, quite small but the pieces featured are splendid and the mood is well emphasized: spacious and has good lightning. I wish there were ample explanation in English for goers to understand its history and context.

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.
