【A surreal space appearing in the forest】 One of the largest Dali collections in Asia. The 'Morohashi Modern Art Museum' where nature and surrealism resonate.
In the majestic nature of Urabandai, within the Bandai-Asahi National Park, suddenly appears a building reminiscent of a medieval European castle. That is the 'Morohashi Modern Art Museum'. Here, it boasts a world-class collection of works by the genius painter Salvador Dali, ranking third after Figueres in Spain and Florida in the USA.
■ An overwhelming collection that touches the depths of the master Dali
The unique highlights include an extensive collection of about 340 works, including Dali's sculptures, paintings, and prints. In particular, the display of sculptures inspired by Dali's iconic 'soft clocks' amidst the tranquil air of Urabandai is breathtaking. The moment where the world of surrealism, which transcends reality, intersects with the rugged yet beautiful real landscape of Mount Bandai outside the window envelops you in a unique sense of floating that can only be experienced here.
■ Beautiful architecture and gardens borrowing the scenery of Mount Bandai
Not only the exhibition content but also the location itself is a work of art. The heavy architecture modeled after European stables and the beautifully maintained gardens. Behind the silhouette of the museum reflected on the water's surface, the majestic Mount Bandai towers, showcasing a wonderful harmony between man-made structures and nature.
⚠️ Travel tip: Please note the winter closure To protect against the harsh winter of Urabandai, the museum typically has a long closure from mid-November to before Golden Week. The sight of it opening with the melting snow is truly an art festival heralding the arrival of spring. Please be sure to check the opening period before your visit.
