🎨 Okinawa Prefectural Museum & Art Museum — Where Architecture Meets Art

#hellohalloween Located in Okinawa City, the Okinawa Prefectural Museum & Art Museum is a true masterpiece of design and culture. The moment you step into the vast entrance hall, you’re greeted by towering, tree-like pillars — inspired by the concept of a “wooded oasis”, symbolizing life and connection with nature. The architecture itself draws inspiration from Okinawa’s traditional Gusuku (castle ruins), blending modern design with deep cultural heritage. Its coral-colored stone and layered structure echo the island’s ancient fortresses, creating a space that feels both powerful and serene. This time, we explored the art museum, where contemporary works and traditional Okinawan art coexist beautifully. From the grand architecture to the thoughtful exhibits, every corner of this place tells a story of creativity and resilience. 📍 Okinawa Prefectural Museum & Art Museum, Naha, Okinawa #okinawa #okinawaartmuseum #okinawaculture #architecturelovers #japantravel #okinawatrip #designinspiration #artandarchitecture
