There is so many historical Asian potteries which has originated in not only Japan but also China and Korea. They have a same rare kind of pottery as owning by the National Palace Museum, Taiwan. They also have the authorised Japanese treasures. It is deserve to visit here in Osaka.

The design of the building and the way the exhibits are presented is as appealing as the ceramics themselves. So much care has gone into the collections and the descriptions of their significance. Both traditional and contemporary pieces are on display. Be sure to visit Nakanoshima Park just outside the museum and stretching along the waterfront.

We discovered the museum through Google Maps because we were heading to the bookstore near there. We went on September 21st (Sunday) around 4 p.m there was no one in line and few people inside. The adult ticket cost about €12, which we thought was expensive considering the contents. We really liked the building's interior architecture. And the cafe next door where we had lunch. Regarding the exhibition, I have no criticism. You can see it well in 30 minutes; there weren't any outstanding works. Overall, if you have free time, I recommend visiting, but perhaps without going into the exhibition.

As always, I think two hours it's not enough. But this is me. If you just want to walk trough. I think 1:30 it's about right. The collection is really outstanding
