ADVICE: TAKE THE BUS.
(I think it runs once an hour from Shizuoka station.)
Oh man, Google definitely didn't tell me that this museum was on top of a gnarly hill / mountain. After my legs and knees exploded I made it, only to be greeted by GIANT SHINING BABY HEAD. This baby head recurred many times throughout the exhibit + my nightmares. Yay. Don't miss the Rodin wing!
Last bus back to the station is @ 4:23 on weekends (at the time of writing), but if you can stick around and walk down there's lots of sculptures and works on the way. If you're on the bus enjoy the Schumann music.
Uhhh five stars I guess!
I walked here from the station. It's nice to see the museum after a quiet and well maintained avenue of trees. I also like the atmosphere of Rodin Wing.
