"Did It Really Get This Big!? I Want to Visit a Garden Where I Can Enjoy World Masterpieces Outdoors♩"

There is an art museum I want to visit.

Right now, there is a place I want to visit. It is the museum "Garden of Ceramic Plate Masterpieces" located in Kyoto.

Here,

- It was designed by the famous architect Tadao Ando,

- It is an outdoor museum where you can appreciate artworks outside,

- Masterpieces of the world are reproduced on ceramic plates and displayed in sizes that cannot be exhibited indoors,

- It is said to be "the first painting garden in the world."

It is an amazing museum!

It's really big!

The masterpieces of the world displayed in the Garden of Ceramic Plate Masterpieces are just incredibly oversized!

For example, here is Michelangelo's "The Last Judgment," which took him six years to complete.

Measuring 1430 cm × 1309 cm, it is enormous, and in fact, it is almost life-size, just like the original in the Vatican's Sistine Chapel.

It’s incredible to experience "Wow, the real thing is this big!" This is unique in Japan! ♩

Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper" is also here. This is also nearly life-size.

Although I've seen "The Last Supper" many times throughout my life, opportunities to see it in its true size from close up are quite rare, making it valuable.

While it's easy to get captivated by the large artworks, works like Renoir's "On the Terrace" are also on display.

Being able to enjoy powerful paintings outside in a spacious area where you can walk around and also take photographs is the best!

What is a ceramic plate painting?

All the artworks displayed in the Garden of Ceramic Plate Masterpieces are a type of painting known as ceramic plate paintings (とうばんが).

This involves faithfully transferring the texture and color of the original work onto a ceramic plate, creating a reproduction.

It's a rare type of painting, so it’s definitely worth seeing.
