Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum

Designed by Kengo Kuma, this museum is an architectural masterpiece. The glass-walled building creates a beautiful harmony with the surrounding water and light. The Rey Camoy exhibition was the highlight—his intense, emotional works provide a hauntingly beautiful contrast to the museum's modern, airy design. A perfect spot for art lovers.

This museum is super clean high-end with a lot of creative art. They have very clean facility and restroom. I recommended for a quick visit. It is next to Marina wharf.

I had one free afternoon in Nagasaki, so I decided to visit Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum. The building is designed by Kengo Kuma and it's beautifully designed. The signages are also very well designed. Highly recommended!

What a gem!!! Gallery space isn’t huge and is free and has a good run of Spanish art and another more of Japanese art. There are also special exhibitions you have to pay for but needn’t visit if you don’t want to. There is a good small cafe / restaurant on the first floor with great views. The lunch offerings are good but run out by 1.30. on the roof is a large area with some sculptures that gives you a free and spectacular view of Nagasaki. The architecture is worth the trip alone!

There are places that is open to the public for free. Its nice to roam around the free areas and the rooftop garden. There is also a cafe in the 2nd floor. I like this museum :)

This was a very enjoyable art gallery. At the time of visiting there was a fantastic exhibit based on choral music which gave the place a hauntingly beautiful air. The remaining galleries had some excellent examples of Japanese and Spanish landscape masters, along side some contemporary galleries. In addition, the view from the roof is wonderful.

It’s a beautiful museum, the architecture itself is worth coming. However, one of the exhibitions was only in Japanese and we were not allowed to take photos, so we could also not use our google lens translation app. The exhibitions had the perfect length -not too short, not too long - and we also had some good tea and cheesecake in the coffee shop.

Ths museum is close to Dejima, so I gave it a visit after visiting the latter. The museum was peaceful and quiet when I went on a weekday afternoon. I visited the permanent collection and saw lots of great art. The gift shop had a lot of cute and interesting items. Museum also had a Ghibli exhibition, but had to give it a miss since I was short on time.
