Karuizawa New Art Museum

​This museum is incredibly interesting and highly recommended. Even if you don't have time for the full exhibitions, I strongly suggest you at least check out the gift shop! They offer a fantastic selection of creative and cultural products that brilliantly integrate art into everyday items. ​A special note: The architectural art installation by Iwayama is currently only open for a limited time. If you plan to see it, make sure to check the operating hours and arrange your visit time well in advance to avoid disappointment. ​A truly worthwhile visit for art and design enthusiasts

Frankly speaking it’s a little disappointing. The design of the museum is new and cool, however very limited pieces of exhibits, and the theme wasn’t attractive. There’s a cafe on the ground floor where you can chill out and coffee was not bad, but wouldn’t visit again.

I was very happy to visit gallery today. They had the AYO exhibition, which was very colourful. The gallery is very modern and and has other art collections as well as a good selection of art books. They also have a cafe attached. I enjoyed my experience, well worth a visit.

Philip Colbert's exhibition "Journey to the Lobster Planet" was the focus of the gallery when we arrived and wow, it was amazing. Considered as the "godson of Andy Warhol", the exhibition showcased Philip's mastery of pop history painting. Besides his exhibition, we were also drawn to some rare pieces of Yayoi Kusama and Meissen. Truly wonderful experience.

The first floor is free, while the main exhibit on the second floor requires a fee. The docents went out of their way to be helpful and pointed out things I may have missed. I really enjoyed the whole experience. The shop and cafe are nice spots to check out as well.

Nice modern museum in town with contemporary exhibits Around 10 mins walking distance from Karuizawa Station

Supposedly new but their only method of paying is by cash, the Senju museum is the same price and seem to be older but they have various method of payment. Embarrassing
