See famous paintings recreated at full size

This museum shows famous Western paintings, from ancient wall paintings to modern art, reproduced at their real size on ceramic panels. Walk the large galleries in order of era and see side by side works that really hang in different countries. It is in Naruto, on the island of Shikoku, about two hours by highway bus from Osaka, and seeing it all takes half a day.

Works from museums in 26 countries hang here together, so you can stand before paintings that you could never see in one place. One room shows all seven of Van Gogh's Sunflowers side by side, including one that was lost in a fire in Japan during the Second World War. Ticket sales end at 4 pm, so arrive with enough time to walk around.
