A new haven for artsy souls in Kyushu: Oita Prefectural Art Museum — where people and art become one
Art museums have long been perceived as aloof and hard to approach. To break this stereotype,Japan’s Oita Prefectural Art Museum (OPAM)starts with “people” in its very design. The venue features a fully open layout, allowing artworks inside to be visible from the outside. The goal is for visitors not just to “look at” art, but to become one with it.
%From the outside, you can already see the museum building and the flowing greenery around it. Even if you don’t go inside, it still makes for a great place to take a walk.
%The museum is divided into “the city art square” and “the gallery area.” Generally, the public can freely explore the “city art square,” but if you want to see specific artworks, you can head to the “gallery area” accordingly. At that time, you’ll also be able to enjoy the lighting effects.
%Even if you don’t go inside, it’s still worth a visit. The outdoor space offers a unique artistic atmosphere. This peaceful corner of the art museum is an unexpectedly serene spot, and it’s designed with the concept of “breathing.”
%You don’t even have to look at art — just having a cup of coffee is fine too.
%There’s even a café inside the museum, where both the food and the interior design carry artistic flair.
%The rooftop is even more impressive, where you can better appreciate the ingenious aspects of the museum’s design. Every detail has been considered, even down to the color of the chairs.
%If you climb up high, you can discover hidden corners of the art museum that are not easily noticed. These spaces filled with artistic elements — aren’t they incredibly charming?
Oita Prefectural Art Museum only opened this April, yet it has already seen a continuous stream of visitors. Even those who aren’t particularly interested in art come here to take a break or enjoy a cup of coffee. Sipping on rich coffee while watching passersby, immersing yourself in the artworks — what a true delight in life it is.
