Fukuoka Art Museum

The Fukuoka Art Museum stands within Ohori Park, occupying a low brick building by a leading modern Japanese architect and reopened after a major renovation. Its collection ranges widely, from Buddhist statues and old tea ceremony utensils to a strong holding of modern and contemporary art, including works by internationally known figures. A large polka-dotted pumpkin sculpture near the entrance has become a favorite photo spot. Set amid the park's greenery and ponds, the museum pairs cultural browsing with an easy outdoor stroll in the city.
