Encounter Contemporary Tableware Art at Ceramic Park MINO
About this spot
The centerpiece of the complex facility "Ceramic Park MINO," nestled harmoniously into a verdant hillside, this is one of Japan's leading museums dedicated to contemporary ceramics. With a wide-ranging collection of modern and contemporary ceramic works both domestic and international, visitors of all ages are surprised by freely formed pieces that transcend traditional tableware concepts: "This is pottery too!?" The building itself is impressive modern architecture, and the sight lines from corridors and terraces that jut out over the valley create an invigorating space. It's the perfect way to wrap up your day by experiencing the "present" of Mino ware.
Tips
Collection exhibitions are reasonably priced for viewing; special exhibitions have varying admission fees. The museum is fully equipped with elevators and stroller-friendly. Parking is free, and there are covered passageways from the parking lot to the museum, making rainy-day movement convenient. Check the closing time and admission deadline at the reception desk.
