At the Otsuka Museum of Art, we have come up with a lot of things to make sure you will enjoy getting familiar with the fine arts. These supports are to ensure you find what you enjoyed best！ Please use it.
The exhibitions of more than 1,000 masterpieces from the B3F to 2F aboveground spans almost 4 Km！
Since the building built extended into the underground, it is larger than it seems from the outside.
So, please wear comfortable footwear when visiting.
If you are to proceed following the brown arrows on the floor (left photo), you will be able to view the exhibit according to its order.
The Gallery Talk, a program introducing the charm of paintings is on now.
Daily Gallery Talk by the Museum volunteers. Please gather at the Sistine Hall B3F according to the time and theme.
