What other travelers are saying about Pola Museum of Art
Amazing museum, one of the nicest I’ve been to both because of it’s selection of art, it’s architecture, and it’s natural surroundings. Very convenient free shuttle from Gora station every 30 minutes. Today was a rainy day but the museum is definitely enjoyable anyway, we also walked the natural path around it and it was beautiful in rainy and cloudy weather.
Only downside for me was the restaurants vegetarian/vegan food. Only one option which actually was a plate with meat removed so it was not very filling at all (spent ¥6.000 for 2 people).
A peaceful and elegant afternoon in the forest.
The collection features beautiful works by Cézanne, Monet, Picasso, and Renoir, all thoughtfully displayed in a serene, modern space.
I had lunch at the museum’s restaurant, then wandered through the forest trail surrounded by quiet and trees.
Art, food, and nature — the perfect balance.
As with most things Japanese the harmony of the art work, the architecture of the building and the surrounding nature make for a very appealing visit.
There is both a bus stop out front as well as a free shuttle to and from Gora. There are free lockers for personal items as well as cables to secure large suitcases in case this is your last activity on the way out.
The colours exhibition was memorable and well curated. Do also have a stroll in the forest. There are short, medium and long options for the walk and you get to see some of the fantastic supporting structure that makes this building float on the mountain.
The Japanese stewartia trees make a compelling argument that nature is the best artist.
We caught the local bus up to the museum which was really easy to do, lovely drive up there through the beautiful lush green vegetation, we had lunch at the restaurant which was absolutely superb before wandering around the museum, amazing artwork very thought-provoking, with modern and classical arts on display
