About

The scenery of Okazaki Park seems to welcome visitors quietly. As the museum's round roof begins to appear among the lightly rustling shadows of the trees, it settles into place in harmony, like a piece of glass floating on a calm river. Passing through the main gate and climbing a small staircase, a space unfolds where a traditional Korean-style building and Western architecture come together in harmony, and the music flowing from within makes visitors lose track of time. Sunlight seeps faintly through the windows, and the gaze buried in the sculptures and paintings on display seems to still be moving even today. A spring breeze from Kyoto flows in, forming small dewdrops, and a moment unfolds where art and nature become one.
