Kyushu National Museum
Rate this destination:
Together with Tokyo National Museum, Kyoto National Museum, and Nara National Museum, Kyushu National Museum is one of the recently built national museum in a hundred years.
It was established in 2005 located in Dazaifu, Fukuoka prefecture. Unlike any other national museum that mainly exhibits art, this museum could be called the historical museum. In fact, the museum carries with it "a new perspective on Japanese cultural formation in the context of Asian history."
The museum building itself is a blue construction that resembles a sport stadium more than an exhibition space - a major point why the museum is striking for visitors.
