Questo museo d’arte orientale ci è stato consigliato da una persona di Genova. Non è semplicissimo da trovare, perché Google Maps indica un ingresso che risulta chiuso: in realtà si accede attraverso un giardino carino, anche se non molto curato. L’edificio, che richiama l’architettura tradizionale giapponese, ospita un percorso museale distribuito su 4-5 piani. Non è molto frequentato, il che rende la visita piacevole e tranquilla. La collezione è interessante e merita una sosta, anche se potrebbe essere curata un po’ di più. Nonostante si presenti come museo di “arte orientale”, il focus principale è sull’arte giapponese, con qualche presenza di pezzi cinesi. In ogni caso, una visita che consigliamo sicuramente.

Non sono un grande appassionato di arte orientale, ma questo museo merita una visita anche solo per la sua straordinaria architettura e l’eccellente distribuzione degli spazi

Una bellissima collezione in un parco altrettanto bello. Non guasterebbe un po’ di aria condizionata al posto dei ventilatori inefficienti e molto rumorosi.
