  • 想像以上でした

    The first Pola Museum of Art, a museum nestled in the forest
    The atmosphere was perfect and it was better than I expected.
    After enjoying the paintings and artworks inside,
    There is also an outdoor viewing area,
    Relaxing background music and artworks in nature
    A style that you can enjoy while taking a walk
    I felt very relaxed and enjoyed it.
    I would like to go again during the autumn leaves season.

  • A cafe surrounded by nature and a huge amount of paintings - soothing

    Above all, the beauty of the painting
    And nature walks,
    Stylish cafe,
    We have everything.
    It's a pity that there are not many buses.

  • It was the best

    This was my first time at the Pola Museum of Art, and I thought it would be crowded, but I was glad that I was able to take my time to look at paintings by Renoir and Monet.
    it's recommended

  • Lots of French paintings!

    Since I studied French literature, there were a lot of French paintings, which reminded me of the Louvre and Musée d'Orsay. It's a very nice and beautiful museum. It's a very nice museum to see in a quiet setting in the mountains. Recommended! It's worth a visit!

  • It was a surprise.

    I went to an art museum for the first time in decades.
    I think the exhibits differ from time to time, but I was happy to see famous paintings such as Monet and Renoir always on display.
    Above all, I was surprised to be able to take pictures of paintings. (The pictures that can be taken are limited)
    It was a beautiful and very nice museum.

  • Photos that blend into paintings

    I went to see "Modern Times in Paris" in Hakone where the snow remained ♪ How has it changed since the Great Kanto Earthquake? The makeup bottles are both modern and nostalgic... old Asakusa... old advertisements... I found it very interesting! There is also a photo spot in the aisle...You can take a picture of yourself inside the colorful 1925 frame.We highly recommend it.

  • Works. Space. Air - Filled, no!

    I want to just blend in and blend in!That's how I felt.The ingenious design of the building that takes in the light of Hakone, the large atrium, and of course the excellence of the works on display made it worth the effort to come all the way from Kansai to Odawara by rental car.
    Although the difficulty of access is quite high, it is still a museum worth visiting.

  • Museum lovers should definitely go!

    I like the space of “Untitled” the most.
    I didn't know what the objects were, but the meaning attached to each one was very impressive.

  • The charm of Japanese paintings

    When I thought of the Pola Museum of Art, I had the impression of Renoir, but I was really moved by the captivating masterpieces of Japanese paintings from the late Edo period to the works of contemporary artists.
    Also, in front of the gate, there was a display of glossy paints, including the differences in pigments and dyes, and I was able to learn more about them, which made me want to come again with my grandchildren.
    A pamphlet placed in the museum announces that Morihiro Hosokawa, who will be in charge of the next project, has retired from politics.
    When I learned that he was active as an artist and would be holding a solo exhibition, I was drawn to the museum and wanted to come back again.

  • Japanese painting appreciation

    Speaking of the Pola Museum of Art, I have a strong impression of Renoir.
    This project allowed me to enjoy many wonderful works of Japanese painting, capturing the changes in techniques and depictions of Japanese painting over time, from the late Edo period to the present day artists.When my children were very young, I often visited here in suspense, but it felt like 20 years had passed so quickly.
    I learned from a pamphlet that Morihiro Hosokawa, who has retired from politics and is active as an artist, is planning an exhibition of his work at the Pola Museum of Art, and I would definitely like to visit the exhibition that will be held from the 15th onwards.

  • Art trip to the fantasy world of the forest

    I visited Hakone for the first time.Visiting museums is a must for sightseeing.The Pola Museum of Art was my number one destination.I was fascinated by the beautiful light blue world of Renoir and Monet, and my five senses were stimulated by the numerous three-dimensional art scattered in the dazzling green forest outside the museum.

  • Nice to visit anytime!

    There are many impressionist exhibitions, so it is recommended for those who like impressionism.In addition, the architecture and the greenery that can be seen from the windows are beautiful, making it a very relaxing museum.I also love cafes and restaurants.

  • Recommended by my mother...

    I visited Hakone, which I have never been to even though I have lived in the Kanto region for more than 10 years.
    My mother had told me in advance that the Pola Museum of Art is the most recommended!
    First of all, it is in nature so much!I was surprised.
    Moreover, it is a museum that is in harmony with the surrounding greenery.
    I wondered if there was any other art museum with good air, so I felt very relaxed, and stopped for a while in a space where the museum building, sculptures, and greenery were already a work of art. (Before entering the building)
    At the time of my visit, an exhibition with the theme of "Dream of the Room: From Bonnard to Tillmans and Contemporary Artists" was being held.
    As the name suggests, we enjoyed the exhibition of works that transcend the boundaries of the times, the exhibition space and the gimmick of the flow line, and we were able to see the works of Yayoi Kusama, who represents Japan.The permanent exhibition was also full of wonderful works.
    It's a very nice museum, and I'd like to visit it again when I'm older.

  • Promenade walk

    Walking on the vast forest trail behind the museum, walking slowly was very soothing.
    As you go further into the hinterland, the scattered objects become less and less, only silence and the sound of the leaves of the trees being stepped on.
    It's a place you want to keep forever.

  • It's okay without an umbrella

    Unfortunately, it was raining and I didn't have an umbrella, but there are shared white umbrellas from the parking lot to the entrance, as well as umbrella stands before and after use.
    The museum was beautiful and I was able to appreciate the paintings up close, so it was a lot of fun.
    Also, it became a museum I wanted to visit.

    2023.01.16 Sakubee (Shizuoka) Women
  • I was healed

    I went out to see Picasso's paintings.Blue period I was able to appreciate it slowly.
    Lunch at the restaurant was very delicious and elegant.And above all, she is green on the promenade that spreads out on the grounds of the museum.
    It was comfortable.

  • I saw Picasso!

    Famous for Picasso's abstract paintings, the Blue Period, which evokes cubism, he was shocked when his best friend Casagemas committed suicide when he was 19 years old.He learned for the first time that Georges Braque and Cubism were being created.There are also sculptures, and I saw an exhibition about Picasso's energetic life.Sculptures, flowers, and birds chirping on the forest trails outside look soothing.
