[2025 Nagasaki Attraction] Travel Guide for Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum (Updated Jul)

The Nagasaki Museum of Art opened in April 2005. It was designed by Kengo Kuma with the concept of a "breathing museum". The main body of the museum itself is a huge work of art. The art gallery adopts a simple design as the main theme, using simple partitions and line elements. The design cleverly integrates wind, water, light, forest, and earth. The rooftop garden observatory takes in the charming views of Nagasaki Port and Mount Inasa, giving you a full sense of satisfaction wherever you look. The rooftop courtyard and the gallery are both accessible and offer beautiful views of the port and night sceneries. 📍Address: 2-1 Dejima-cho, Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture, 〒850-0862 Transportation: Walk for about 15 minutes from JR Nagasaki Station, take the tram to Dejima Station, and walk for about 2 minutes #Art Museum #100 Ways to Travel

#JapanTravel #Nagasaki #NagasakiTravel #NagasakiPrefecturalArtMuseum 📍Japan Nagasaki, NagasakiPrefecturalArtMuseum On the way to Dejima Wharf, there is the Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum. It is an impressive place with glass walls on all sides that let in sunlight from all sides and provide a view of the scenery. In particular, water flows between the buildings and there is a passage connecting them. The permanent exhibition on the first floor was about Japanese language and traditional Japanese paintings. On the first floor, there is a permanent exhibition hall, a souvenir shop, and a rest area. On the second floor, there is a cafe where you can enjoy coffee and dessert while looking out over Nagasaki Dejima.

The Nagasaki Prefectural Museum of Art is a beautiful place for both photographs and landscapes, the building itself is full of design style, designed by the famous Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, using a large amount of translucent glass, simple and modern. In addition to enjoying the art exhibition, the building itself is worth seeing 🫶🏻 I wanted to go to Mount Inasa to see the night view, but the "house garden" at the museum made me linger, watching the sunset there is already beautiful, do not want to leave, just want to capture the most beautiful moment. When visiting the art gallery, from the original cloudy sky to later switched to blue sky, the art gallery under the blue sky is more beautiful, immediately unlimited photos📸️ Now in addition to the permanent exhibition, he also has an exhibition of Picasso paintings. Personally, I think the paintings in the permanent exhibition are more beautiful because I prefer realistic painting style. Every time I look at the paintings of the 16th-19th centuries I marvel at how much effort the painters of the time spent and how deep the skill of his land was. When I learned oil painting, I knew it was not easy to draw people. The teacher once used a student's drawing of lips👄 as an example. The student practiced every day and took several months to draw the lips that seemed real. If you have a loose schedule or are interested in fine art, you can visit the art gallery ~ enjoy art and take pictures 😌 📍No. 2-1, Deshima-cho, Nagasaki, Nagasaki Prefecture 🚌 A 3-minute walk from Dejima Station on the Tram Blue Line, or a 5-minute walk from Shimin-byouin Station on the Green Line Tram.

I had cassata and iced latte. This is the Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum Cafe. Cassata is a traditional Sicilian sweet called cassata siciliana. Is this an Italian dessert boom? The top is gorgeous and looks great! The dessert was like a jewel box. I visited on October 29th. #Nagasaki #NagasakiTrip #Cassata #Sweets #NagasakiSweets #Gourmet #GourmetTrip #NagasakiDessert #AutumnTrip #Cafe #NagasakiCafe

★ Preview one-line review ★ Even with the unfriendly map and wandering steps, art and Jjambbong did not betray me. 1. Tram and snowball fight as soon as I arrived Nagasaki's famous streetcar (tram). But... I have no idea where to get on and which direction to go. I looked at the map like crazy, but I couldn't see the stop, so I ended up getting lost. ㅜ 👉 Tip: Nagasaki's trams are not operated by a number system, but rather by "direction/arrival station" SanQ Pass not applicable! Separate on-site payment or local pass required Since 'tram stops' don't appear on Google Maps, look for signs around the station first 2. Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum - Really well made. You should definitely go. 📍Address: 2-1 Dejimamachi, Nagasaki #Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum An art museum located on the seaside, the building itself is a work of art The works of Dutch and Spanish artists + Japanese craftsmanship + Nagasaki local paintings were harmoniously composed. The exhibition room with the ocean view through the glass is really healing, and the cafe inside is also very nice. 👉 The phrase “symbolizes hope” in the description of the work was impressive... but I don’t remember it well now (ㅎ) 👉 A place that will be much more satisfying than expected for those who like art 👉 Quiet and not many tourists, so it’s comfortable + a resting point 3. Nagasaki Castella – Don’t expect much and buy it at the airport 📍Bunmeido Main Store (文明堂 総本店) 1-1 Edomachi, Nagasaki #Bunmeido “Castella! Castella!” So visit The taste is just moist egg bread, and honestly, it's better to buy it at Fukuoka Airport Duty Free If you really want to buy it, I recommend buying it at the airport duty free 4. Meganebashi (Glasses Bridge) - Look for the small heart stones 📍6-17 Hamamachi, Nagasaki #Meganebashi As the name suggests, the structure of the reflection in the water under the bridge looks like 'glasses' It's calm during the day, and the lights are prettier at night There are many prop shops and delicious cafes around, so I recommend stopping by If you're traveling as a couple, you should definitely stop by at night. 🍜 Nagasaki Champon - You have to eat this 📍Shianbashi Ramen We went to a place with a lot of history near the ramen street. You can choose between small and large sizes. The broth is rich and has a strong pork flavor It's oilier and heavier than expected → If you like soup, you'll be satisfied, but if you like noodles, you might like it or not 📌Summary of a 1-day trip to Nagasaki Transportation - The tram is ambiguous, but if you enjoy it slowly, it's delicious Art - Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum is highly recommended, surprisingly satisfying Restaurants - You must try the champon. Castella can be substituted for duty-free Scenery - Meganebashi + the art museum waterfront is a photo zone Atmosphere Overall, there are few tourists, it's clean, and quiet #Overseas travel#Japan travel

#globaltravel #Nagasaki If you still have time after visiting Nagasaki Harbor or Yumeto Department Store and want to feel the artistic atmosphere, then the Nagasaki Museum of Art is a good choice! ✨ 🎨 Nagasaki Art Museum 📍2-1 Deshima-cho, Nagasaki ⏰10:00~20:00 (last entry 19:30) The design of the art gallery is simple and elegant, and you can feel the quiet and comfortable atmosphere when you walk in 🖌️ Calligraphy exhibition The day I went there, I just saw a calligraphy exhibition. I was a little tired in the middle of the walk. I wanted to go to the coffee shop in the art gallery to sit, but they were about to close the shop🥲, so I went to the Souvenir Corner 📌 Nagasaki Art Museum not only has traditional calligraphy or paintings, but also held a Tom & Jerry exhibition before, feels quite special ~ If you usually rarely visit the art museum, afraid of bored friends, you can pay attention to whether there are some interesting special exhibitions during the trip, may have surprises! If you go to Nagasaki, you might as well go to the Nagasaki Museum of Art and see what exhibitions are being held if you have time. Maybe you will find particularly interesting art works! ✨

The Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum, located next to Nagasaki Port, advocates a design that combines with nature. The sound of flowing water in the canal, the garden on the rooftop, and natural lighting, all of which are combined with the concept of the forest, have created this "breathing art museum." ▶️Transportation Transportation: 5 minutes walk from Nagasaki Electric Railway Dejima Station or Media Center Station. Opening hours: 10am - 8pm The sign and appearance of the museum alone are very design-oriented. The entrance hall uses natural lighting and the corridors are well ventilated, giving the overall feeling a very comfortable feel. No wonder it is called a breathing art museum. Even if you don't visit, there are commemorative stamps in the lobby. You can take a walk around the art museum and get your stamp as a souvenir. The main purpose of this visit is actually to go to the rooftop garden to enjoy the view of Nagasaki Port. This is also a photography spot recommended by locals! I walked upstairs directly from the ground level, but didn't see any signs prohibiting entry to the grassy area. I was "monitored" by the security guard for quite a while until I entered the main building, where I saw the signs - it turns out that the grassy area here is prohibited from entering, so everyone should be careful when going there. The top floor of the Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum is very large and rarely visited. It is very suitable for taking photos or chatting with friends. The view of Nagasaki Port from here is more open, and it faces west, making it a great place to watch the sunset. You can easily take minimal photos facing the canal of Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum. –––––––––––––––––––––– IG: @tea_2046 🔖Travel | Life Experience | Essays 🌻Let’s discover more possibilities in life together! –––––––––––––––––––––– #globaltravel #nagasakitravel #nagasaki #japantravel

October 29th. A pleasant autumn day. I took a walk in Nagasaki Waterfront Forest Park. I also visited the adjacent Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum. The glass-walled building lets in lots of light, creating a bright, open atmosphere that was a wonderful facility. The next special exhibition will be a Picasso exhibition from the Israel Museum of Art starting November 11th. The permanent exhibition was currently on. The Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum was designed by Kengo Kuma. I'm sure there are many people who are interested in Kuma's architecture, not just the exhibition! #Nagasaki #NagasakiTrip #NagasakiTourism #KengoKuma #ArtMuseum #AutumnTrip
