It is unusual to find a facility that contains both a museum of culture, history, and science (hereinafter referred to as “museum”) and an art museum. A facility which contains a “museum” (hakubutsukan) and an “art museum” (bijutsukan) is rare. One of its predecessors was the Higashi Onna Museum , established in 1946 immediately following the Battle of Okinawa, and therefore, 2016 marked the facility’s 70th anniversary. The museum exhibits materials and information related to the fields of geology, biology, anthropology, archeology, history, folklore, and arts and crafts, and it holds various relevant events. The art museum shows mainly, but is not limited to, modern and contemporary works of art that were nurtured by Okinawan culture, including oil and watercolor paintings, sculptures, prints, photographs, and videos. Take your time exploring the nature, history, culture, and art of Okinawa at both museums.
I loved the animal and nature part of the exhibition. The staff is really helpful and friendly, althought they miss some of English descriptions about the exhibits. I fancied some parts of the art exhibition but most of them I found quite cheap.
