Nagoya City Art Museum — Attraction in Nagoya

A very interesting museum with exhibitions of famous European paintings, including Napoleon's quotes, which surprised me and brought me joy and happiness!

Everyone was very polite and orderly. There were basically no tourists; everyone was quietly viewing the paintings.

Once in a while there will be a better contemporary show, but almost every time I've been here there is surprisingly little to look at, four or five artists being shown in the entire building, as if they couldn't find enough...
