"Stunning collection of Japanese masks Completely different from any other museum in Genova, the Museo D'Arte Orientale showcases pieces from the private collection of Edward Chiossone - a Genovese engraver and portrait artist employed by the Japanese government in the late 1800's. Today, the collection features many large Buddha statues, and a impressive number of handcrafted Japanese war and theater masks. Situated in the public park of Villette Di Negro, the museum also features sweeping views of the cityscape."

Included in the museums pass (15€+bus tickets - 24hrs). Was okay because we didn't have to pay extra. Would not go there again. Not very much to look at, very small, finished after 15 minutes, sadly no explainations in english. The staff was nice but couldn't speak english. They also told us about their favorite places (Palazzo reale, Palazzo spinola). The park around the museum is very pretty and you have a good view!

Museum focusing on Japanese art mostly bronze vases, bhuddist statues and vessels. Imported Chinese objects are shown in comparison. The partially very detailed description is in Italian. Still the large variety of objects offers a small but fruitful glimpse into Japanese art of the last centuries.

Even though is not very big, I love the architecture of the building and the Villetta di Negro (the park where the museum is in) is one of the best public park in town. The sunset from here is stunning. The collection of Japanese artifacts is impressive.

Very laconic - like Japanese minimalism. Good collection.

I’ve never seen a necropolis as imposing as this . The sculptures are magnificent.

Per chi ama l'arte orientale, un punto di riferimento di livello internazionale. ‐ If you are into asian arts and crafts, that's the place to visit in Genoa, one of the best in Europe both for its collection and location.

What a great little museum to visit! Staff was extremely friendly, museum was very well put and interesting, and the garden surrounding it adds a lot to the whole vibe of the place! I recommend it!

Distant views from the park terrace. Terribly planned museum with each alternating third of the floor area split level up and disconnected. No elevator. A small collection poorly presented with harsh lighting. 5€. Disappointing.
