Furukawa Art Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away in the quiet, residential Chikusa Ward of Nagoya, the Furukawa Art Museum feels like a well-kept secret. You don't just see the art here; you experience it, with serene gardens that are as much a part of the visit as the pieces inside. The collection is an intimate journey into Japanese aesthetics, primarily showcasing the exquisite tastes of its founder. It’s a place that invites you to slow down and appreciate the finer details.
Collection Highlights
The museum's heart is its stunning selection of Japanese paintings from the Edo and Meiji periods, alongside delicate ceramics and lacquerware. Look for subtle ink wash landscapes that seem to breathe and intricate metalwork that shimmers in the soft gallery light.
