Located in Ueno Park, the Tokyo National Museum was founded in 1872 and traces its origins to Japan’s first exposition. It is also Japan’s oldest museum. Rather than a single exhibition building, it comprises several facilities, including the Honkan, Hyokeikan, Toyokan, Heiseikan, and Horyuji Homotsukan. Its collection includes more than 110,000 items, spanning art and antiquities from Japan and across Asia. In the Honkan, visitors can explore different galleries featuring Japanese paintings, sculpture, crafts, and calligraphy. Exhibitions also focus on themes such as Buddhist art…
