Kamei Museum Collection

Butterflies, kokeshi dolls, and art

The Kamei Collection Museum is not your average art museum. While it does have a humble collection of paintings by local, national, and international artists, it is the downstairs exhibit areas which visitors remember the most. There you will find a display showcasing kokeshi dolls and information about them. However, the highlight of the museum is the massive collection of butterfly species from around the world. The brilliant wings of the now dead butterflies still glitter endlessly. There is even a picture made out of over 7000 wings from over 100 species displayed next to the staircase.
