Description

The Tokyo National Museum (TNM) began in 1872 (Meiji 5) with an exposition held at the Yushima Seido Confucian shrine in Tokyo. We focus on treasured art objects, historical documents, and archaeological objects of Japan as well as East Asia and other parts of Asia with professional care.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).
