The beautiful curve and the reflection of the nature in the glass facade are worth seeing.The number of visitors is the second highest from all National Museums in Japan. The other National Museums are in Tokyo, Nara and Kyoto. Four times a year, the special exhibition changes so there is always something new to explore for visitors.

There are two types of exhibitions. A permanent exhibition with the theme “cultural exchange” and a special exhibition. By purchasing a special exhibition ticket the ticket for the permanent exhibition is included, so it is possible to visit both.

At the fourth floor you can find the permanent exhibition show rooms. There you can experience the history of Asia and Japan.
