I went out of my way to go to this museum unaware of its closure for renovations - to reopen March 2020. There was a special exhibit on the calligraphy of 36 poets pre-1000ad. There wasn't any Englis...
Terrible, avoid at all costs. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
I had high hopes for the Kyoto National Museum, but found the experience a terrible waste of money and bordering on a scam. 1. Half of the buildings are closed, as the secondary building is being reno...
Kyoto National Museum is one of Japan's four great national museum, and is very representative. The collection is mainly ancient Japanese artwork, divided into themes such as stoneware, pottery, paintings, everyday tools, and knives and blades -- each with its own exhibition hall. There are over eighty thousand ancient Asian handcraft artworks, including sculpture of Samantabhadra, folding screen with forest painting, Heiji period paintings, and over eighty Baishi poem collections.
Both historical building & very modern building are so beautiful.
This is an interesting Museum, full of fascinating relics and ancient pieces of history that hold valuable significance, both historically and culturally for Japan. It focuses on modern art in Japan and Asia as a whole, and you can find many different artefacts throughout the four storied museum. Make sure to get yourself a translator, to really get the most out of your experience at the museum. With so much history behind the museum itself and the treasures it holds, listening to the tales behind each piece and how it got there is an important part of your visit to the National Museum. A note worthy visit for history buffs and backpackers alike.
In the first two years of maintenance, the yard that was allowed to enter the museum was allowed to enter the museum this time, but I never understood why the old museum was not allowed to visit. We like the old museum even more.
Kyoto National Museum is a large comprehensive museum, showing the great river people's culture for thousands of years. There are also many witnesses of cultural exchanges with China, there are many Japanese national treasures, definitely worth visiting.
After leaving Kyoto in the afternoon, we can only choose one attraction to visit. We chose this one. We found that it was really worthwhile. It contains a large number of Chinese and Japanese pottery, paintings and calligraphy, Buddhist scriptures, sculptures, etc., and it is well preserved. From the New Age to the Yayoi Age, down to the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Bakufu Age. Stunning, highly recommended, no photos inside, took two photos to your reference, please don't say my quality is low
