[2025 Fukuoka Attraction] Travel Guide for Fukuoka Asian Art Museum (Updated Jun)

#FukuokaTourism At the beginning of February, my family and I went to the Who's Banksy? exhibition at the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum in Riverain. It seems that not only adults but also small children enjoyed it. It's located above Nakasu-Kawabata Station on the Fukuoka Subway, so it's easy to access.

Directly connected to Nakasu-Kawabata Station on the Fukuoka Municipal Subway 🚉 Located in the Riverain Center Building. The mural is in front of the elevator on the first floor, which is directly accessible from this elevator. The Animage and Ghibli exhibitions were held until July 10th.

Fukuoka Asian Art Museum is a treasure trove of contemporary and traditional art from across Asia! I was really impressed with the diverse collection on display—ranging from Chinese calligraphy to modern works by contemporary artists from Southeast Asia. The museum is beautifully designed with spacious galleries, and I especially enjoyed the multimedia exhibits that provide insights into the cultural context behind the art. One of the highlights was the special exhibit on Japanese ink paintings, which was a deep dive into this beautiful and intricate art form. The museum also offers hands-on workshops for those who want to learn more about Asian art techniques. It’s located in the heart of Fukuoka, making it easy to access.

#Fukuoka Attractions The Fukuoka Asian Art Museum is an interesting place with special exhibitions, so I bought a 1400 yen ticket, which included the Asian Pop exhibition. We had a really fun time here encountering beautiful fairy tale illustrations and a lovely museum structure. The last piece on the tour was by sculptor Jim, and this piece exceeded my expectations as I was very happy to see it as a Korean artist I have encountered overseas, It was really fun to have the unique experience of looking at the work while shining a magnifying glass on it.

Walking into the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum, you feel like you are in a magnificent and splendid exotic world. What you see before you are precious pieces of art from different Asian countries and regions, each of which exudes a unique cultural atmosphere. I was deeply attracted by the rich and diverse treasure trove of Asian art in the museum and couldn't help but appreciate it slowly. First, there are lifelike wooden Buddha statues with breathtakingly delicate carving techniques; further ahead are poetic ink paintings with free and easy brushstrokes that exude the beauty of oriental books; then what comes into view are intricate and gorgeous Miao embroidered costumes with delicate and complex patterns, as if you can get a glimpse of ethnic customs from afar; what fascinates me most are the Southeast Asian sculptures that are full of tension, with graceful postures, majestic momentum, and are breathtaking. I wandered back and forth among these gorgeous works of art, appreciating each one carefully, as if I could feel the creator's state of mind and cultural connotation at the time. Being in such an elegant environment, many distracting thoughts in my heart were soothed, and I gained an unprecedented experience of physical and mental relaxation. This visit not only broadened my artistic horizons, but also gave me a deeper understanding and appreciation of Asia’s diverse cultures. #Fukuoka Attractions

The pieces on display were cool and contained a lot of history in them. There was also an artist's gallery that you can access for free! The artist himself was there and gave us a background on the theme of the collection on display. He even asked us for feedback and our interpretation of his art. I did expect more from the museum's permanent display since they boasted a collection of 5,000 pieces, but I don't think all were accessible to guests. The museum also has a library where you can relax and read books. Perfect way to get to know more about different kinds of art and their history. #fukuokatrip

#2024wish I embarked on a captivating journey to Fukuoka Asian Art Museum, nestled in the heart of Japan's Hakata Ward. The museum, a beacon for Asian modern and contemporary art, stood tall at Shimokawabatamachi. Its exhibitions, a testament to the dynamic and evolving nature of contemporary Asian culture, left an indelible mark on my artistic soul. The curated works transcended traditional boundaries, offering a profound glimpse into the changing face of Asia. As I explored the 7th and 8th floors, each exhibit unfolded like a vibrant chapter in a cultural narrative. Fukuoka, with its historical ties to Asia, embraced its role as a key interactive city, fostering a deep connection with diverse artistic expressions. The experience was a symphony of colors, textures, and narratives echoing through the corridors of the museum. Now, in 2024, I find myself yearning to revisit this haven of creativity. The Fukuoka Asian Art Museum holds a unique place in my memories, and in 2024, I wish to go there again.

This is "Hakata Lantern Watching 2022" at the Hakata Riverain site, which also houses the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum. The lantern design is based on the theme of "the city of Hakata, which has developed alongside the sea, and the stories that have been passed down there." Candles are lit on the bridge, and lanterns shine on the water. The shrine was also enveloped in the gentle light of the lanterns. An autumn event in Hakata. It's a wonderful light-up. #autumntrip #lightup #fukuokasightseeing #fukuokatrip #fukuoka #hakata
