Miyakonojo Municipal Art Museum (都城市立美術館)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A community-rooted art museum in a corner of Shiroyama Park (城山公園) in Miyakonojo City. Through works by artists connected with the region and through special exhibitions, even children can meet something that strikes them as somehow interesting. The galleries are quiet and air-conditioned, making this an ideal place to spend a midsummer morning indoors. It is not too large, so you can finish looking round before a small child's concentration runs out, which is another help. The surrounding park is full of greenery, so you can walk a little after leaving the building to change the mood.

Tips

Fees and opening days can differ between the permanent collection and special exhibitions, so check the official information in advance. Agreeing with children beforehand to stay quiet in the galleries makes things go smoothly. The layout can be managed with a pushchair, but a baby carrier may be easier to move with during a crowded special exhibition.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. Spending the 11 o'clock hour, when the sun grows strong, indoors is efficient
