Nara National Museum

Saw the National Treasures exhibition. As per the advice of other reviewers I went late and queues weren’t too bad. Still busy inside. Buddhist sculpture hall is impressive.

I love visiting the museum today. There are many items from old Japan of interest there. It certainly expanded my knowledge of Japan. It's only roughly $7 Australian dollars to get in and if you are over 70 it's free. You'll need to provide proof!

We only saw the building during our visit to Nara Park. It is a landmark in the park that can't be missed. We didn't have time to enter the museum to have a look but the building looks pretty nice from outside.

The Nara National Museum (奈良国立博物館, Nara Kokuritsu Hakubutsukan), located in Nara Park, is an art museum which primarily displays Japanese Buddhist art. Established in 1889, the museum retains its original building and is joined by a new wing that is connected to the original building by an underground passage.

Lots of national treasures and well preserved artifacts on display. Easily spend 1-2 hours looking over everything.

We come to attend an exhibition and was informed to buy the ticket at counter. So we come an hour and a half early to queue for tickets but after opening time the still make us queue after people that come later then us because the bought ticket online. Should have told us to buy ticket online in the first place. It was a completely buffoon system, every other museum let you enter after buying ticket.

This is an art museum that primarily displays Japanese Buddhist art. It was established in 1889, and retains its original building structure and is joined by a new wing that is connected to the original building by an underground passage. Both wings display the museum's permanent collection which includes Buddhist statues, paintings, scrolls and much more.

The value of cultural dissemination is undoubtedly valid. However, the historical roots and authenticity should be presented based on the actual conditions of the local area. It is suggested that national museums should not display personal collections (donations are excluded from this category). It is worth pondering whether the works from the Tang Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties in China were given as gifts through local cultural exchanges rather than stolen during the invasion of China?
