This is a neat little museum full of both Japanese and Western art located within walking distance of the Tenjin district of Fukuoka. For the very very low cost of 200 yen (two coins, even lower than the Three Coins store, pun intended) visitors can treat themselves to a Pre-Modern art gallery on the first floor to a Modern and Contemporary art gallery on the second. There are interesting Buddhist statues, ceramics and a tea ceremony collection, as well as the shop and a cafe on the entry level. On the 2nd floor there are works by Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol and Joan Miro, along with a restaurant. Outside there are sculptures, including a yellow pumpkin by Yayoi KUSAMA, which attracted a lot of attention. While it's not the Louvre nor the Metropolitan Museum of Art, it's a small museum that has its charm. You could budget a couple of hours and be happy that you filled a part of your day enjoying some interesting and thought provoking artwork.
