Osaka Osakashi Kita-ku Nakanoshima 1-1-26

The Museum of Oriental Ceramics, Osaka, which opened in 1982, is dedicated to ceramics from the East Asia region. The Museum’s collection—which is focused mainly on Chinese and Korean ceramics—is world-class in terms of both quantity and quality. The 300 or so representative items that make up the Museum’s permanent exhibitions effectively bring across the appeal of ceramics, such as the painstaking effort made to ensure that ceramics reflect the light to best effect. The Museum’s themed exhibitions and special exhibitions are also very popular.

I visited this place on february, it is just nice. Easy to access by subway, just a few hundreds walking distance.

Osaka Osakashi Abeno-ku Abenosuji Abe Haruka 16F

Located on the 16th floor of the 300-meter-tall Abeno Harukas skyscraper, the Abeno Haruka Museum is a city-center art museum that takes full advantage of its location near a major terminal railway station. The Museum has no permanent exhibitions; instead, it holds several different thematic exhibitions every year, on themes relating to the cultural properties that are found near Kintetsu railway lines, East Asian art (including Japanese art), Western art, contemporary art, etc. The Museum occupies an entire floor of the Abeno Harukas building, giving it a spacious feel; as a great spot to take a break from shopping or sightseeing to admire art in a relaxing atmosphere, it has become a very popular art museum.

Visited during recent typhoon and everything else seemed to be closed. In tall building - exhibit was fantastic. Stayed for a coffee afterwards at the cafe with wonderful views of Osaka.

"This art museum was established by Ken Hamazaki, an artist clad in red who has made the three themes of ""flying,"" ""sleeping,"" and ""sitting"" his life's (art) work. Here visitors can casually experience and enjoy modern art, a field of art many think is difficult to understand. The entire gallery is painted red, resulting in a space which is entirely extra-ordinary."
