The Kitazawa Museum of Art, located near Lake Suwa in Nagano Prefecture, features a permanent collection of Art Nouveau glasswork from the late 19th century, including pieces by Émile Gallé and the Daum brothers. Visitors can also enjoy modern Japanese paintings. The museum is a 15-minute drive from Suwa IC or a 10-minute walk from JR Chuo Line Kami-Suwa Station. Reviews highlight the beautiful glass art, especially Gallé's "Mushroom Lamp," and the informative explanations provided by staff. A café with views of Lake Suwa is available on the second floor. Photography is allowed in some areas. It's a great place to appreciate art in a tranquil setting.
