Kyoto Museum Of Crafts And Design

Unclaimed

Truly one of the best and most informative museums I've ever visited. All the descriptions have English translation available and it really goes into detail about the manufacturing process and historical context of the exhibit. If there's too much text and you feel overwhelmed then no worries! You'll be given an exhibition catalog when buying a ticket which you can real later It's okay to take photos and the museum's shop has really cool souvenirs

LOVED THIS PLACE ... not a huge display but many techniques & processes are explained with examples of each stage. The intricate work that goes into pieces is amazing. Along the way you get to appreciate the craftmanship & culture It includes lacquer wear, ceramics, gold foil, textiles, homewares & so much more. We spent 2 hours in the displays then made some purchases in gift shop.

Really enjoyed this museum - it is so informative and innovative. It's a great introduction to Kyoto and it's heritage of craftsmanship. It was great getting to have a go at some crafts and the interactive displays were brilliant!

For some reason, I expected to see the history of arts and crafts, but this exhibition focused on showing you the craftsmanship of Kyoto. It was very very well put together, and very interactive. We had fun! My only problem was that it was so much smaller than we expected. It only takes up a tiny part of the building it's in. When we bought the ticket, we also got a discount ticket for the museum shop.

Such a nice and small museum. Small, but packed with interesting stuff about real japanese crafts with examples
