Lovely venue and staff. We were pleasantly surprised that a Swedish artist, Hilma af Klint, had a featured exhibition. While abstract art isn’t “for me” I still enjoyed myself. The Japanese wartime pieces were particularly interesting.

Good collection at the Momat for just 500 yen admission. If you want exhibitions you pay extra admission. Depends on the exhibition if you are interested. Standard collection interesting but have been to more exciting Moma's

Had a really good time here. Went to the general exhibition which was I think 500 yen and spent several hours going through it. Amazing value! Even for to see a piece from Picasso and Pollock.

There's an art museum near the Imperial Palace moat, close to Hirakawa-mon Gate. FYI, you'll need a 100-yen coin for the lockers.

The museum was filled with history and great art pieces contributed by art collectors. The inside of the museum is heavily quiet. Great for coming alone and or with your friends, a total of 4 floors to view
