Flow of the course

About this spot

Located within Culture Forest Comprehensive Park, this art museum focuses on art from the 20th century onward. The collection's three pillars are '20th-Century Depictions of Humanity,' 'Contemporary Prints,' and 'Art Related to Tokushima,' offering high-quality holdings ranging from works by masters like Picasso and Klee to contemporary artists, viewable in the permanent collection exhibition. The exhibition halls feature high ceilings and ample spacing with subdued lighting—an ideal setting to commune one-on-one with art while forgetting the sound of rain. Looking out at the rain-veiled forest through the large lobby windows offers a unique experience. Viewing these works after exploring history in the morning museum tour deepens your appreciation of artistic expression's evolution in depicting humanity.

Tips

Collection exhibition admission is reasonable; special exhibitions charge separate fees. Have lunch at the museum's restaurant or elsewhere in the park beforehand to dedicate the entire afternoon to appreciating art. During display changes, the museum may be temporarily closed—check the official website in advance.

Best time to visit

Approximately 2 hours. Midday, as light settles, is ideal for quiet, unhurried appreciation in the peaceful exhibition halls.
