Simose Art Museum
Otake, Japan
Shigeru Ban's movable galleries give Simose an unusual relationship with the coastal landscape. The museum's holdings range from Japanese dolls to Émile Gallé glass and modern painting, with changing exhibitions deciding what is on view. After the galleries, explore the garden inspired by Gallé's favourite plants and look across the Setouchi seascape from the terrace. Make the journey to Otake part of a slower coastal day, rather than trying to squeeze it into central Hiroshima sightseeing.
