The Tokyo National Museum is the first museum in Japan that opened in 1872 (Meiji 5). We focus on treasured art objects, historical documents, and archaeological objects of Japan as well as East Asia and other parts of Asia with professional care. We constantly strive to make your visit as enjoyable as possible by committing ourselves to our work, which are: researching and studying current and new collection pieces; exhibiting them in an easily accessible manner; further improving your stay by offering lectures and gallery talks (mostly in Japanese).
