Otsuka Museum of Art
About This Destination
The Otsuka Museum of Art opened in 1998 in Naruto Park and is one of Japan's largest exhibition spaces by floor area. Its collection consists of more than 1,000 ceramic-board reproductions of Western paintings, copied at full size onto durable fired panels. Works range from ancient murals and Renaissance frescoes to Impressionist and modern paintings, including a full-scale recreation of the Sistine Chapel ceiling and reconstructed chapel interiors. Because the reproductions are on ceramic, visitors may photograph and even touch many of them. A full viewing route covers about four kilometres across five floors. The museum is reached by bus from Naruto Station and sits close to the Naruto whirlpools and the Onaruto Bridge.
