Kyushu National Museum, National museum in Dazaifu, Japan.

The Kyushu National Museum spans 3,900 square meters of exhibition space, featuring interconnected galleries that showcase Japanese cultural artifacts and exhibitions.

The museum, which opened in October 2005, represents the fourth national museum in Japan after those established in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Nara.

The permanent exhibition rooms demonstrate the development of Japanese culture through exchanges with other Asian nations across different historical periods.
