Museum of Art Kochi.

On the 16th day of my walk along the Ohenro pilgrimage of Shikoku, I left my hotel near Kochi Station and headed south towards Chikurinji Temple, the next on the route.

I stopped by the Museum of Art, but it was too early and not open, so I didn't go in.

It is quite striking, looking like a cluster of oversized traditional storehouses.

It was designed by Nihon Sekkei, a very prolific company employing hundreds of architects.

The museum has a collection of over 40,000 artworks, including a lot by famed local artist Yasuhiro Ishimoto, but it is most well known for its large collection of works by Marc Chagall.
