Such a beautiful place. 青森県立美術館, Aomori Kenritsu Bijutsukan Open until 5 pm, so ensure proper timings when you visit. 9:30 - 17:00 Closed on 2nd and 4th Monday of each month (or the following day if Monday is a national holiday), New Year holidays, and irregularly for exhibit changes!! *Final Admission 30 minutes before closing. Ticket is required, 510 (410) yen for adult! Parking is available in the premises. I visited there in August 2020 during summer vacations. You can enjoy watching show but check the timings through their website! Kids friendly! Access: The museum is located next to the Kenritsu Bijutsukanmae bus stop (県立美術館前), a twenty minute, 280 yen bus ride from Aomori Station. It is also a five minute walk from the Sannai Maruyama Jomon Archaeological Site. Known for its exceptional architectural design. The ground under the museum was cut in a geometric style to resemble the trenches of the excavation area. Structure enveloped by white-painted bricks lands these trenches. The concave/convex trenches and white structure are interlocking but maintain spaces. Since opening in 2006, the Aomori Museum of Art with its goal of introducing the arts of Aomori to the world has collected and exhibited works from Aomori native artists such as Shiko Munakata, Shuji Terayama, Yoshitomo Nara, and Tohl Narita. The Aomori Dog by Yoshimoto Nara has become the museum's iconic symbol. Highly recommended. Happy Travelling Cheers Happy

Impressive building, great special exhibit on contemporary artist Yoshimoto Nara who grew up in region. They recreated one of his favorite American music hole in the wall bar. The permanent exhibits at about ¥500 are well worth it. The special exhibit was an extra 1500 but it was the majority of the museum space. We visited in winter and it was busy but not crowded. A little bit out of the city but there were always taxis and the parking was free. It would be better to come in summer when you can join it with the Jumon site a short walk away. Only one cafe, which always has a waiting list, see separate review of the 4 Cats cafe.

Quite a surprising little find in Aomori. Here, you'll find Aomoro-ken, a giant dog sculpture, which you can go right up to in warmer seasons. In the museum, you'll find a giant room with four large pieces surrounding you, and smaller exhibition rooms, featuring works from other artists, as well as permanent collections. There is also a nice little cafe serving Aomori apple favorites and tea. This is all for around 500 yen, which is pretty great. The only downside is that it is a bit out of the way, and the amount of things to do may not be worth the trip for some, but it sure did it for me.

What an amazing museum. What looks like a bland and subdued museum from the outside makes way for an expansive experience. It's hard to explain how big the museum is. While most museums have you got up and work your way down, here they send you into a massive maze of basement and have you work your way up. It's bright, it's evocative and it's a joy to wander around and take everything in It's a small trek from downtown but it's so worth it. Also the Aomori Ken is free, so if you don't feel like dropping ¥700 you can still experience something fun
