What other travelers are saying about Okinawa Prefectural Museum & Art Museum
Okinawa is an absolute gem waiting to be explored! Immerse yourself in the vibrant culture and rich history that fill every corner of this stunning destination. Plus, there’s a delightful café perfect for unwinding and savoring the moment. It’s an adventure you won’t want to miss!
We only visited the art museum today. There was several special exhibits going on- one relating to beach trash and turning it into art and another relating to local students and digital art. Both were so intriguing! The art museum had a smaller collection than many museums I have been to, however it was nice to walk thru and learn about the history and culture of Okinawa. We were very happy to see English explanations near most of the pieces. Very friendly staff! Free parking, museum cafe for food, bathrooms, and a gift shop!
Came without knowing there was a Hello Kitty exhibition going on.
Well, unless you’re a die hard fan, I don’t think it was worth the 1800yen price tag.
I did enjoy the works by various artists on their take of the cute kitty though.
Overall good for passing a short couple of hours.
This is Okinawa’s premier museum, where you can explore the history, artifacts, and various artworks of Okinawa. One more recommended spot is the park right in front of the museum. It is quiet, beautiful, and perfect for a peaceful walk surrounded by towering trees.
Very interesting museum, it goes over the whole history of Okinawa and the Ryukyu kingdom. There's also a big section dedicated to the natural history of the island.
You can easily spend 2 hours to visit it all.
