Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum

Amazing architecture. Very beautiful in the evening. Must walk up and down, out and in, to appreciate the detail of stairs, windows, light and shadow, and the view on the balcony.
Enjoy the sunset.
The entrance is free but some special exhibitions charge.

This place was amazing. I suggest going with friends because the interactive exhibit is great for interacting with others as well as the art. They have livkers for bags next to the bathrooms on the second floor which was very convenient. My favorite exhibits were the interactive and Women. The descriptions are in Japanese, English, and Spanish in some places and just Japanese in others. The staff were super friendly. I want to go again!

The art museum is located in Dejima which is a commercial area. The museum carries a variety of arts with limited editions giving you reasons to go back.

I went to see the limited edition of contemporary art using layers of resin and acrylic paint to creating a 2.5 dimensional effect by Riusuke Fukahori.

Nice small museum, beautiful building. Check out view from the rooftop garden.

We walked up to the rooftop garden (free) and got the lift down into the museum. There was a free music performance that we got to watch as well!

The roof top to see the harbour view! Can go up from outside.

Very nice, open atmosphere. I went for the special Pixar display, and loved it so much that I went twice! Gift shop has lots of fun items for everyone!

The art works were unique and beautiful

A nice museum! It’s quite small (just two floors) but the exhibitions are well curated and wonderful. You can also get a good view of the harbour from the window!

This is an amazing building in a beautiful location. The standing collection is Spanish, high quality. Why not a standing Japanese collection? A great temporary exhibition was contemporary Japanese.

Nagasaki (Japanese: 長崎, "Long Cape") is the capital and the largest city of Nagasaki Prefecture on the island of Kyushu in Japan.

It became the sole port used for trade with the Portuguese and Dutch during the 16th through 19th centuries and the Hidden Christian Sites in the Nagasaki Region have been recognized and included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Part of Nagasaki was home to a major Imperial Japanese Navy base during the First Sino-Japanese War and Russo-Japanese War. At the end of World War II, the American atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki made Nagasaki the second and, to date, last city in the world to experience a nuclear attack (at 11:02 am, August 9, 1945 'Japan Standard Time (UTC+9)').

As of 1 June 2020, the city has an estimated population of 407,624[1] and a population density of 1,004 people per km2. The total area is 405.86 km2 (156.70 sq mi).

For 12 months prior to the nuclear attack, Nagasaki had experienced five small-scale air attacks by an aggregate of 136 U.S. planes which dropped a total of 270 tons of high explosive, 53 tons of incendiary, and 20 tons of fragmentation bombs. Of these, a raid of August 1, 1945, was most effective, with a few of the bombs hitting the shipyards and dock areas in the southwest portion of the city, several hitting the Mitsubishi Steel and Arms Works, and six bombs landing at the Nagasaki Medical School and Hospital, with three direct hits on buildings there. While the damage from these few bombs was relatively small, it created considerable concern in Nagasaki and a number of people, principally school children, were evacuated to rural areas for safety, thus reducing the population in the city at the time of the atomic attack.

I love the admission-free rooftop garden. It is a nice and peaceful place to enjoy the sunshine and have good views of the harbour.

Superb collection of different art exhibits across a wide range of genres. Definitely go see it.

A great place to be & people watch from the roof garden. Admission is also free for most parts.

Don't miss the roof garden when you finish the visit before you leave, it's among one of the greatest view of the honour

Building is beautiful! I strongly recommend to visit the roof garden, which is free of admission!

Brilliant Picasso print exhibition when i was there.

Art of Nagasaki students was on display. It was a free exhibit.

Good modern local art and a temporary exibit of local photo artists who where present to answer questions

Got to see the art pf Hirohiko Araki today. Fantastic!
