    Surprise after surprise after surprise
    The first time I came to this museum I got quite a shock. Hanging on the walls was a Modigliani, a number of Picasso’s, a few Monet and a heck of a lot more. It was so unexpected in this smallish town a couple of hours out of Osaka. At that time, I was in a rush and didn’t have time to explore further. Yesterday I came back and was blown away once again. As well as some extraordinary contemporary European and Japanese artists, the museum also houses an Asian Art Gallery that includes numerous stone pieces, mostly from China from around 500 AD. They are simply stunning. It costs Yen1300 per person ($13-$14) Kurashiki is a strange place. It’s obviously very touristy – but it somehow works. The Ohara Museum of Art is the icing on the cake.

    Located within the Bikan Historical Quarters of Kurashiki. This art museum was founded in 1930 and showcases famous paintings from the West, including El Greco, Gauguin, Monet, etc. There are traditional Japanese buildings within the premises that are used as art galleries that also house sculptures and pottery.
