Fukuoka Art Museum

Visited in mid-November, only the permanent exhibition. The museum was a wonderful discovery and is really cheap. I think it will appeal especially to those who appreciate contemporary art. In any case, it's very pleasant to visit after strolling through the park, and by filling out a form you can even receive a free postcard!

One of the best value museums in Japan. Amazingly clean, quiet with beautiful and meaningful installations of contemporary artists and even world- famous ones. The QR code scanning system with transcripts is very convenient and price for the visit is budget-friendly. I loved it.

JPY 200 for entrance that we paid for there, but was very impressed with all the collections. I think we spent 3 hours here but could easily spend more. Lovely view of Ohori park. They have a gallery where you can scan QR codes to read or listen to a discussion about the piece, so bring earphones.

Well worth 2000 yen entry fee. The Egyptian exhibit was a little crowded, however, the other exhibits have plenty of room and lots of interesting things to see.

Located right next to the park, Fukuoka Art Museum has a great atmosphere and lots of interesting artworks to see. The highlight is Yayoi Kusama’s pumpkin — super cute and iconic!

Great museum, great permanent exhibit with changing rooms, over all was a great museum ,super cheap only ¥200 yen If museum staff reads this please bring up the price of entry fee for foreign visitors to at least ¥500 yen

When you're downtown Fukuoka, and you would like to learn more about Fukuoka through the eyes of local artists, I recommend this wonderful art museum. They also have rotating and permanent exhibitions, as well as amazing staff who are always willing to help answer any questions you may have.

Great museum. Collection is interesting and manageable to get through in a couple of hours. Beautiful modernist building, I spent as much time admiring the architecture as I did the art. There are a couple of lovely restaurant/cafes on site. Definitely worth the visit

This museum is gorgeous! For only ¥200, you can see multiple exhibits with some very famous works, as well as artists from all over Japan. They have Picasso, Kusama, Warhol, Dali, to name a few! The staff is very kind and helpful, even for those of us speaking English. It is also kid-friendly, with a space for little ones to take a break and lots of outside space (like with Kusama's giant pumpkin!). We loved seeing this place. Totally worth the trip.

You can enter this museum for free and you can see some arts for even free but the famous arts require some entrance fee! We got to see free arts and twas satisfactory for us.

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.

Fukuoka deserve a nicer Art Museum ! I visited in June 2013 the Fukuoka Art Museum, on my personal opinion, I was overall disappointed. Honestly, I was expecting a bigger and more modern museum for the size of the city of Fukuoka. Did I visit too much nice museums WorldWide ? Anyway, the building itself looks from the '60/'70 style brown bricks, the collection was ok, few nice paintings, for me I felt I was visiting a museum from a city of 500 000 people. I think Fukuoka deserve a new building to host the Art Museum + more arts collections. Now, go visit and write back here your personal opinion after visiting.
