[2025 Osaka Attraction] Travel Guide for Osaka City Museum of Fine Arts (Updated May)

Located in a corner of Tennoji Park, the elegant Osaka Municipal Museum of Fine Arts is a striking sight. Opened in 1936, the Osaka Municipal Museum of Fine Arts is one of Japan's oldest museums, and I decided to visit it because a Vermeer exhibition was being held there. 🤗✨ The building is a symmetrical Japanese-Western style building with a tiled roof on top of a concrete structure, giving it a retro-modern atmosphere and a dignified presence. In addition to the Vermeer exhibition, various events and collection exhibitions are held here, so it's a museum you can enjoy at any time!!! #OsakaSightseeing #MuseumHunting #OsakaMunicipalFineArts

#osakafoodguide In fact, I came to visit the Osaka City Museum of Art, which was renovated in March, just for this newly opened cafe✨. ENFUSE cafe: a cross-border fusion of art and food The coffee brand of the same name comes from the Kyocera Museum of Art in Kyoto, and behind it is the Japanese high-end restaurant group "Onguzhixin" - they are good at integrating ancient and modern designs. Hotel "Setouchi Aonagi" designed by Tadao Ando and Michelin cave restaurant Maison Owl by Junya Ishigami are all from their hands. The cafe makes use of the high ceiling space of the art gallery, and through the iron windows you can overlook the greenery of the Japanese garden "Qingze Garden"🌿. The round table design creates a sense of openness, as if it were a small cultural salon. Even when there are many tourists outside the museum, it remains quiet here, making it a great place to avoid the crowds. Must-try recommendation: Restore the flavor of "World Kitchen" • One plate set meal + Kansai white wine: Based on the Osaka food culture, it brings together fresh ingredients from Kansai, with a balance of salty and sweet flavors! • Dessert platter (luck required): It is said to be a fusion of the essence of Japanese and Western desserts, but unfortunately it was sold out that day. I will definitely make up for it next time! Useful Information ⏰ Business hours: 9:30-19:00 (extended to 20:00 on Wednesdays) 📅 Closed on: Same as the museum (usually Mondays) 📍 Location: 2F, Osaka City Museum of Art (enter the museum from Gate 1 and take the elevator directly to the museum) #日本旅行 #设计感咖啡店 #咖啡与艺术 #博物馆美食 #澳街美食探店 #坎西旅行 #咖啡打卡

#Osaka Itinerary Walking through Tennoji Park and into the Osaka City Museum of Art is like walking into an artist’s dream. The exhibition space is open and bright, and every painting and sculpture whispers emotion and history. Walking in the quiet exhibition hall, the mind is unconsciously drawn by the soft light and shadow, making people want to sit quietly and carefully experience the warmth behind the brush. Stay at voco Osaka Chuo, where modernity meets warmth. The bright room hides the designer's clever ideas, and every detail makes people feel comfortable and respected. Looking at the twinkling city lights outside the window in the night, I write down this quiet and beautiful time about art and life in my heart.

The Osaka City Museum of Fine Arts, Japan's third oldest public art museum, first opened in 1936. After approximately two years and five months of renovations, it reopened on March 1. To celebrate the reopening, a month-long commemorative exhibition titled "What's new" is being held. The exhibition features 200 specially selected works, including six designated as Important Cultural Properties of Japan. The exhibits include paintings, books, sculptures, crafts, and more. I made a special trip to see the entire exhibition, which includes numerous treasures from China, such as Buddhist statues, calligraphy, paintings, and ceramics. These pieces date back to the Tang and Song dynasties, the Northern Wei dynasty, and even the Shang dynasty. Seeing these masterpieces left me deeply moved and filled with a sense of melancholy. The Buddha head from the Yumen Grottoes, the gilded bronze and silver feathered man from the Later Han dynasty, and Xie Shichen's massive 3m+ masterpiece all left a lasting impression. 📍Address: 1-82 Chausuyamacho, Tennoji-ku, Osaka City (inside Tennoji Park) ⏰Hours: 9:00am–5:00pm (Last entry at 4:30pm) 🗓️Closed: Mondays, New Year's holidays 🚃Access: Approx. 5-min walk from Tennoji Station on the JR Lines, Osaka Metro Midosuji Line, and Tanimachi Line Osaka City Museum of Fine Arts
