The Prince and Skyline Museum - Part I: An Introduction

on

The other month Ale and I had the same idea to head up to Nagano to visit the Prince & Skyline Museum.













In 1996 in the very location (〒394-0055 Nagano, Okaya, Uchiyama, 字内山４７６９−１４) at Yamabiko Park the annual Vintage Car Meeting.





Skyline owners requested that this would be perfect place for Japan's first automotive museum dedicated to a single model.





In April 1997 the father of the first GTR, Shinichiro Sakurai was appointed Museum Director. 





Then in April 1997 The Prince & Skyline Museum was opened at the top of the hill of Yamabiko Park with a very fitting skyline view of the town, lake below and surrounding hills up in Nagano. https://maps.app.goo.gl/vHh6t9LN4YDBKaR29













I am a fan of post-modernist design and architecture so couldn't help taking a few snaps of the building as well.




Let's take a dive inside...








I would be picking up some souvenirs later




In Part II we head down the stairs into the main hall of the museum.





Tune in next time...
