Kyushu National Museum is a great place to visit, especially for students since admission to the regular exhibitions is free. The museum has a very spacious and impressive interior, making it enjoyable just to walk around.
In the main hall, there is a café, a souvenir shop, and even a free drinking water station near the restrooms, which is very convenient. The escalator takes you up to the 4th floor where the main exhibitions are located, and the displays are really interesting and well presented.
On the way up, you can also enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding hills outside, which adds a nice touch to the whole experience.
A very impressive building with a nice garden outside that you can visit.
There are several traditional performances outside of the museum itself.
The museum is very impressive and has cool exhibitions and artifacts.
Unfortuantely there isn't a ton to see and not everything is in English.
Still, I recommend you visit and learn about Kyushu's history
Super informative and enjoyable museum visit to learn about the history of Kyushu. I learnt that thanks to its strategic location, Kyushu was deeply involved in many of the historical events and developments central to Japan. The permanent exhibits take you from the prehistoric Jomon period to Meiji era
From afar, just the architecture design of the building itself draws your curiosity to make an entry. And lo and behold, the passage of walkway right up to the actual building was as exciting as the main building itself. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed this place and what it has to offer.
Very nice exhibit. Exhibits of prehistoric artifacts, pottery, etc. Also has a free audio guide. Has plenty of seats and restrooms.
