#2024wish A big museum with two buildings, one old and one modern. The old building was closed temporarily so the exibitions were held in the modern building. The space is big with lots room for visitors to move around without getting way of each other. Most impressive floor was on the first floor which showed the statues of different Buddhism gods. With the help of lighting, the statues as if alive and the crystal eyes were looking down at the visitors. I wish to go to many places in Japan this year.

I am such a sucker for Museums, so of course, when I went to Kyoto, I made sure I visit Kyoto National Museum. It is located in Higashiyama Ward, and is said to be one of the major art museums in Japan. It exhibits pre-modern arts, poet pieces, and a lot more. Admission fee is also fairly priced at ¥520 per person. There are discounts for Kyoto Uni students and there are also open access days. It's a great place all in all. #wintergetaway
