OPAM Oita Prefectural Art Museum
Discover endless encounters and inspiration! Experience art with all five senses
Located in the heart of Oita City, OPAM, the Oita Prefectural Art Museum, is designed around the concept of "an art museum to enjoy with all five senses." Its collection focuses on works by artists connected to Oita, with over 5,000 pieces, including modern Japanese paintings, Western paintings, sculptures, and works by Japan's first Living National Treasure in bamboo crafts.
The building itself, designed by world-renowned architect Shigeru Ban, is a highlight. The glass-walled atrium creates a bright, open, and inviting space filled with natural light. The adjoining café is the perfect spot to relax after enjoying the art, offering dishes made with fresh local vegetables and Bungo beef.
The museum also hosts workshops and guided tours, offering plenty of engaging experiences to enjoy!
