Museum in Japan

Located in Ito on the Izu Peninsula in Japan, Cui Ruzhuo's art museum is surrounded by beautiful scenery. The transportation is convenient, and it is only a short drive from the seaside.

The building is striking, with pure white architecture and pillars that stand in front like guards. In front of the building, there is a parking lot capable of accommodating 100 cars.

Although it is called a museum or gallery, it is actually a nice tourist destination.

When stepping into the lobby, the first thing that catches the eye is a large open space that can accommodate weddings, receptions or concerts. There is also a teahouse for art-lovers to enjoy good afternoon tea while appreciating the beautiful scenery outside.

The hall is colored red and black, so people can get a sense of Cui's unique tastes.

The second floor is the major exhibition place for Cui's artworks. The latest lighting technology enhances visual enjoyment.

Unlike the large, cold art exhibition halls found in many museums, the second floor also includes some more human touches, such as a restaurant and a lounge. So when you are tired, you can pick up delicious local snacks while having a rest.

This is not Cui's first museum. In 2007, the Cui Ruzhuo Museum opened in Beijing, which displayed more than 100 of Cui's best works. This museum is currently one of the largest private museums in China.
