Osaka's premier fine arts museum sits inside Tennoji Park and holds a distinguished permanent collection of Japanese and Chinese paintings, lacquerware, and sculpture alongside ambitious rotating special exhibitions. The building itself is a dignified 1936 neo-classical structure worth admiring. Admission prices rise significantly for blockbuster special shows, and the permanent collection galleries can feel sparse between major exhibitions.
