Kure City Art Museum

Kure City Art Museum is a 3-storey museum located next to Irefuneyama Park, housing more than 800 works from Japan and abroad. The permanent collection features the Renoir girls with straw hats and a version of the sculpture by Antoine Bourdell Hercules the Archer. The red brick building with its red brick exterior and powerful stairs inside is quite impressive, and the small garden in front of the entrance is magnificent. The letter approach to the museum is lined with some "interesting" sculptures.
