Kirishima Open-Air Museum, located in Kagoshima Prefecture, is distinguished by its extensive open-air sculpture collection. With 23 open-air installations spanning 13 hectares, visitors are free to touch and experience each work. The museum has a unique concept: the works are only complete once visitors have entered, climbed, or otherwise come into contact with them. Some sculptures are even placed so that they interact with the rich natural landscape, surprising and delighting museum-goers.
