Yokosuka Museum of Art Review

A local art gallery of local nature, small in scale and very distinctive.

The temporary exhibition at the gallery is more interesting than the regular exhibition.

An hour southeast of Kamakura, there is a seaside art gallery The main body of the rectangular building is at the end of the grass. This large lawn facing the seaside has occasional open-air movies, so the official called it "sea の". There is a sign at the entrance, printed in the waves of the "Yokosuka Gallery". There is an Italian restaurant on the left, and you can also dine in it at night. It has the feeling of a restaurant in the sea and needs to be reserved. On the right is the Museum Shop, which has a small space and fewer things. In the middle is the entrance to the gallery, through an overhead passage, even if the journey of Yokosuka Museum is really started. The museum has three floors, two floors are ground floor, distributed with libraries and seminar rooms. The whole museum aims at "integration of landscape and architecture", and it can be clearly perceived from entering the venue. The circular windows, which are distributed in walls and ceilings, make people stand inside the museum and feel the outside scenery: the sky, the sea, the people in action. The front is the sea, the back is the mountain, so Yokosuka Art Museum is both a "art gallery that can see the sea" and a "art gallery in the valley".

Japan can see the sea of the art museum Yokosuka Art Museum Yokosuka in the eyes of the Chinese people should be considered a relatively small travel place, here is about an hour's drive from Tokyo, but I came here specially, for the quiet and far-reaching Yokosuka Art Museum. The coastline of Guanyinqi Park, where the museum is located, is the most suitable place to see the sea except Kamakura. Standing in the museum, you can enjoy the romantic coastline 180 degrees. As an art museum, its building itself is also full of artistic sense, in order to introduce natural light to the space, the iron wall opened large and small round holes, which not only solves the problem of lighting, but also makes the sight more transparent. Stepping into the roof is another scene, where you can look 180 degrees forward at the sea level, while turning around to enjoy the mountains surrounded by three sides. ● Opening time 10:00 ～ 18:00 ● Closed day ~1st week of January (but it is open for holidays) ● Traffic guide at the Beijing-Shanghai Express Line "Malu Coast" Station No. 1 bus "Guanyinqi" (about 10 minutes), Get off at the bus stop of "Kyukyu Hotel ・ in front of Yokosuka Museum of Art" and walk for 2 minutes

It is a beautiful and sophisticated museum, and it is recommended because there are few people for the scale. The sea is in front of you and you can enjoy it while relaxing.
