A biggest scale art museum that reproduces world's masterpieces by ceramic boards. Michelangelo's famous ceiling painting in Vatican, 'Cappella Sistina' is reproduced at full scale. I was so impressed that I had goose bumps in such an artistic room!◎It's known as a museum of the most expensive entrance fee (3240yen, advance ticket 3100yen), but you could be satisfied with their exquisite reproductions and large number of paintings. I think here is an only place where you can experience the world's arts at the same time.
