Moroashi Museum of Modern Art: Home to One of the World's Finest Salvador Dalí Collections
About this spot
Located at the foot of Bandai Mountain, this museum centers on works by Spanish surrealist master Salvador Dalí. The Dalí collection, comprising sculptures, paintings, and prints, is said to be one of the world's most significant, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in the strange and wonderful world of Surrealism, epitomized by his famous melting clocks. The museum also houses works by Cézanne, Renoir, and other Impressionist masters, with rotating exhibitions. The building itself, inspired by a medieval stable and constructed of stone, is a sight to behold, with its long arched corridors and waterside gardens set against the backdrop of Bandai Mountain—a landscape reminiscent of Europe's lake district. Following your encounter with nature's masterpiece, this museum offers the experience of art as scenery, adding profound depth to your Ura-Bandai visit. The museum is closed in winter and open from spring through autumn.
