What is Otsuka Museum of Art?
Exhibit masterpieces from all over the world
The Otsuka Museum of Art is a museum in Tokushima Prefecture that reproduces masterpieces from around the world.
The number of exhibits is about 1000, and all of them are famous works that appear in art textbooks.
In addition to paintings, there are also large-scale works that reproduce the entire chapel.
Because you can enjoy masterpieces from all over the worldRecommended for those who go to the museum for the first time!
Established Otsuka Pharmaceutical, which is familiar with Pocari Sweat
The Otsuka Museum of Art was opened in 1998 in Naruto, the place where Otsuka Pharmaceutical was founded.
It is now a very popular spot visited by 40 people a year.
Highlights
Faithfully reproduced work
To reproduce the work"Porcelain panel painting"The technique is used, and it is produced in colors and sizes that are faithful to the original picture.
The touch of the brush and cracks are also reproduced, and the degree of perfection is so high that even the director of the museum that houses the original is surprised.
You can appreciate the work slowly
World-famous paintings are often guarded by strict security.
For example, the Louvre's Mona Lisa is surrounded by bulletproof glass and wooden fences.
The crowd isn't too crowded, and the staff at the Louvre always threatens to say, "Don't stop! Go fast!", So you can't watch it calmly.
However, at the Otsuka Museum of Art, you can appreciate it as slowly as time permits.
A wide range of works from ancient times to modern times
The works on display begin in ancient times, and are truly wide-ranging from the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, modern times, and modern times, and can be called the art history of humankind.
It is a very luxurious museum where you can see works that you wouldn't be able to see even if it took a lifetime if they were real.
Enjoy non-existent works
At the Otsuka Museum of Art, you can enjoy works that you can no longer see.
Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper" before restoration and Van Gogh's phantom "Sunflowers (XNUMXth)", which is said to have been destroyed by air raids, are also on display.
Only the Otsuka Museum of Art in the world can enjoy this kind of fun.
Works that can withstand outdoor exhibitions
Some works are exhibited outdoors.This is also possible because it is a ceramic plate painting.
Claude Monet's "Water Lilies" are so addictive that I think the correct way to appreciate them is to watch them outdoors.
Sistine Chapel
The Sistine Chapel is the largest of the Otsuka Museum of Art.
Michelangelo's masterpieces "The Last Judgment" and "Genesis" are completely reproduced.
It became a hot topic as a place where Kenshi Yonezu sang at the 2018 Kouhaku Uta Gassen.

The size and congestion of the hall
The Otsuka Museum of Art is located on the 1000rd basement floor to the XNUMXnd floor above ground, and about XNUMX works are exhibited over a distance of about XNUMXkm.
