The scenery reflected on the curved roof A futuristic escalator

The curved roof is very beautiful
The fourth largest national museum in Japan after Tokyo, Kyoto, and Nara

While other national museums are art museums,
Kyushu National Museum was established as a history museum.

The exterior is characterized by a large roof with a gentle curve that blends the architecture into the surrounding mountains.

The walls are designed to incorporate nature into the architecture,
and when you go up on the escalator,
it feels like you are moving into the near future.

The special exhibition is "Ancient Mexico Exhibition".

It focuses on three civilizations, "Mayan", "Aztec", and "Teotihuacan", and displays about 140 excavated items.

Museum shop on the first floor of Kyushu National Museum

Original goods with motifs from the museum collection, from Kyushu's traditional crafts to local specialties,
there are over 1,000 types of products.

There are many interesting items among them.
The pochi envelopes with illustrations of famous people and humorous designs, as well as the saifu tops with designs of Katsushika Hokusai and others, are only available here. There are many unique products on display, and it was fun.

The access road from Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine to the Kyushu National Museum

The National Museum is located on top of a mountain, so it's convenient to use this road.

After going up the long two-stage escalator,
you will arrive at the "Rainbow Tunnel" moving walkway.

The moving walkway runs through a tunnel about 100 meters long,
and the lighting changes to rainbow colors over time.

You move slowly while bathed in a fantastic light.

It's like heading towards the near future.
