Pola Museum of Art
ポーラ美術館
A glass-walled art museum hidden in a beech forest on Sengokuhara. Its collection of Impressionist works, including Monet, Renoir, and others, is rich.
The Pola Museum of Art opened in 2002. Most of the building is set underground to preserve the forest views, and natural light pours into the galleries through the glass. The collection of about 10,000 works is known for Western Impressionist and modern painting, including Monet's Water Lilies, along with works by Renoir, Cézanne, and Picasso. It also holds Japanese Western-style paintings and cosmetic tools. Outside, a forest trail of about 1 kilometer winds through the woods. Admission is about ¥2,200. The museum is open year-round except during exhibition changeovers, from 9:00 to 17:00. A facility shuttle bus runs from Gora Station or Hakone-Yumoto Station.
