Flower Hill Museum, Biographical museum in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan
The Flower Hill Museum features an elliptical structure with a conical roof, positioned on a hilltop overlooking an agricultural park in Naga Town.
The museum, inaugurated in 1999, honors Dr. Seishu Hanaoka, who executed the first surgery using herbal anesthesia in medical history.
The architectural design by Kisho Kurokawa incorporates elements of Japanese agricultural heritage through its shape, reminiscent of the mandarage flower.
The facility includes exhibition halls, a multipurpose space, and a restaurant, covering 955 square meters within a 6,825-square-meter property.
Natural illumination enters through a central skylight and strategic slits between wings, creating varying light patterns throughout interior spaces.
