Visiting National Museum of Western Art
The National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo holds Japan's most comprehensive collection of Western art. The main building, designed by Le Corbusier, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The core collection came from Matsukata Kōjirō, a Japanese industrialist who amassed Impressionist paintings and Rodin sculptures in early 20th-century Paris. France returned the collection to Japan in 1959.
The museum is in Ueno Park, Tokyo's cultural district. Le Corbusier's 1959 building, his only work in East Asia, stands alongside other major museums in the park.
