Fuchu Art Museum (府中市美術館)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This municipal art museum stands on the grounds of Fuchu-no-Mori Park. Because you can walk straight in from the park itself, it is a reliable refuge during the hottest hours of the day. Alongside the permanent collection there are special exhibitions, and hands-on programs for children are sometimes arranged. The building has the open feel you would expect of a museum in a park, offering a place both for adults who want a quiet moment and for children who are starting to get restless. It is just the right stop for conserving energy indoors before the afternoon water play.

Tips

Admission differs between the permanent collection and special exhibitions, and varies with the content of each exhibition. Check the current exhibitions, admission fees and closing days on the official website in advance. Places to eat and drink inside the building are limited, so spreading out your bento on the park lawn is recommended. Strollers are allowed inside, but leaving one at the entrance when it is crowded makes moving around easier.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. Spending the late morning indoors, when the sun is at its strongest, makes the afternoon easier
