福岡に小旅行に来たついでに、九州国立博物館を初訪問して見物した。私的コレクションを国立の施設で観ることに少し違和感を覚えながらだったが、展示そのものは見応えのあるものだった。17:00に到着して閉館時間の19:00話まで、2時間ではまったく時間が足りなかった。

Kyushu National Museum features a gently curved exterior that blends with the surrounding mountains. In addition, the area surrounding the building retains much of the nature from before its construction, allowing visitors to enjoy the seasonal changes in its appearance.

It is the newest national museum to open after the Tokyo National Museum, the Kyoto National Museum, and the Nara National Museum. Based on the concept of "understanding the formation of Japanese culture from an Asian historical perspective," the museum not only holds exhibits but also plays a vital role in the protection and investigation of cultural properties. The museum also provides a wide variety of educational programs to make the museum a fun place to visit more than once.
