200JPY which is super reasonable with satisfyjng volume and quality of artcrafts. Did not need to wait to get in on weekends/JP PH as I arrived at there at 9:30AM which they just opened. It was also relaxing and cozy to sit down and read JP magazines at the library space. Hope they will provide online QR code kind ticketing system (like major OTA offers) so that we can skip the purchase procedure for better customer experience.

Beautiful place, lovely art exhibitions, cost only 200 Yen. Wouldn’t take you long to go through the exhibits. The Building also houses a library. But the lack of one star is due to the fact that there is no free parking unlike other museums. That’s said, the highlight for most might be chihuly’s exhibit which was beautiful but not the best I’ve seen as it was dusty and requires some maintenance. Can possibly have more art pieces and variety from local artists.

Remarkable collection of Dale Chihuly glass art pieces on the top floor. The building itself has a nice modern design and is home to the city's public library. A variety of glass pieces and modern art to inspire visitors on the flexibility of designing with art.

The visit to the museum got us to experience the local trams. The museum also houses a library on cerrtain floors (looks like one internally). The interior is interesting and unique.

The art museum has 4 floors, the entrance floor not included, three of them had glass art displays. The best one is the Chihuly exhibit at the top floor, containing colorful and mesmerizing installations, the rest of the floors display various local and offshore artists art works. The museum has a vast library spending on a couple of the middle floors, restrooms and small resting area. Tickets can be purchased at the entrance floor, the queue is not long.
