Chichu Art Museum

Reviewed By VLiuSyd - Sydney, Australia

Not many art works at this museum but the building/environment is an integral part of the experience. The best is this white room where 5 Monet paintings are displayed; you put on slippers to enter. Online ticketing system restrict number of people. Was there low season (December) so didn't need to book but show up and buy a ticket. Took me under 1 hour to enjoy the three exhibits, enjoy the architecture and have a drink at the cafe.

Teshima Art Museum

Reviewed By ako2811 - Zurich, Switzerland

Photographs don't do justice to the power of this place. Profoundly spiritual experience. The breathtaking architecture and the subtle, mesmerising art installation form such a perfect whole. We stayed for almost 90 minutes in near silence, just sitting on the floor, watching the droplets of water first form and then launch on their serendipitous journeys, watching the breeze play with a white ribbon, observing others observing the water drops, walking around the curving, circular structure and feeling very moved by it all.

Benesse House Museum

Reviewed By helenmiumiu - Hong Kong, China

This is the place that really exceed my expectation. The museum has nicely integrated into its environment, overlooking the Seto Inland Sea. It has various exhibits to draw your attention too. My favorite is the Yellow and Black Boats. The museum offers an extended viewing time for Benesse House hotel guests. Afterwards, remember to venture out to see the outdoor exhibits nearby the museum by the sea.
