Traveler highlights
Kyushu National Museum in Dazaifu opened in 2005. Its sweeping glass exterior houses exhibitions on Japanese culture from the Paleolithic era to the late premodern period, viewed through exchange with Asia. The collection spans paintings, calligraphy, Buddhist statues, ceramics and arms, including National Treasures and Important Cultural Properties. A free first-floor area features traditional clothing and daily objects from Asian countries; special exhibitions are also held. Beside Dazaifu Tenmangu, it extends a shrine visit into a look at Japan’s historical ties with Asia.
