🎨 Ōtsuka Museum of Art — The Sistine Hall Experience

#hellohalloween Located in Naruto, Tokushima, the Ōtsuka Museum of Art is one of Japan’s most unique art museums — home to over 1,000 full-scale ceramic reproductions of Western masterpieces, from ancient frescoes to modern paintings. Among its most awe-inspiring spaces is the Sistine Hall, a life-sized recreation of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City, Rome — including Michelangelo’s breathtaking frescoes such as The Last Judgment and The Creation of Adam. The ceiling and walls are reproduced in astonishing detail using Otsuka’s ceramic printing technology, allowing visitors to appreciate the world’s great art without leaving Japan. Standing beneath the vast, colorful ceiling, it’s easy to forget you’re in Tokushima — the sense of grandeur and devotion is truly overwhelming. Whether you’ve seen the real Sistine Chapel or not, this faithful recreation offers an unforgettable way to experience Renaissance art up close. 📍 Ōtsuka Museum of Art, Naruto, Tokushima #japanartmuseum #ohtsukamuseumofart #sistinechapel #michelangelo #artandculture #tokushimatravel
