Yamanashi Prefectural Museum of Art

Had a chance to visit this museum when they had the works of two Mongolian artists. The collection of Francois Millet is present at all times as well. Thoroughly enjoyed the art and the displays.

We enjoyed viewing the amazing collection of pieces by Jean Francois Millet within this museum. There were pieces by a variety of artists as well as clay pieces by Tadahiro Ogawa- Jomon statues. The museum also has a wonderful restaurant that had delicious food choices- several themed from various works of art being showcased in the museum. The museum was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Taking pictures inside the museum though not allowed, the oil painting are antiques and amazing in the canvas. Nostalgic and amazing are my expressions! Food at the cafe & resto was as amazing as the oil paintings, healthy and i loved it!

While it is wonderful to have an art museum in town, the collections aren’t the most impressive, but I am no art critic. The park is the true reason to go to the area, the park is always full of families (and so many dogs) and a great place for an afternoon picnic. For a relaxing Sunday afternoon I recommend enjoying the park and skipping the museum!

I visited the museum with my husband and 3year-old daughter. And got strong feeling that the museum unofficially refuses small kids.. We've been never given this many precautions in public places before. They asked us not to let go of our kid's hand, not to have her anything in her hand and etc.. even my daughter was already in my husband's arm when they tell us precautions, we felt so disturbing and guilty with the fact that we have a kid with us.. During at the exhibition room, we again was told from another staff member the same precautions we had already heard at the entrance.. Even considering that the museum keeps masterpieces and they need visitors to be cautious but this is excessive. I've visited many other museums in Europe and have seen parents enjoying arts with their children, discussing about art pieces freely. I think that's how a museum achieve their most important goal, "to provide people with a place where art is blooming by educating and inspiring young generation" In this term, i can say that this museum fails to do so. My daughter looked on the verge of crying as even she didn't understand whole conversation we had with staff but she still understood overall meaning and tone that she was not welcomed. We left the exhibition room soon but I should have left there even at the entrance when we had to hear the stupid restrictions they set to small kids.. Then we would have not hurt her feeling. Please do not visit this place if you have a kid.
