Saga Prefecture Art Museum — Nabeshima Collection

The Saga Prefectural Art Museum focuses on the two defining artistic traditions of Saga: the Nabeshima clan's patronage of porcelain arts, and the 20th-century painters who emerged from this ceramic heritage to work in Western techniques. The permanent collection includes the finest publicly accessible display of Nabeshima-yaki ceremonial ware — pieces made exclusively for aristocratic gift exchange that have never entered the commercial market.
