What other travelers are saying about The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo
The exhibitions were thoughtfully arranged and showcased a wide range of Japanese modern and contemporary art. It gave me a deeper appreciation for the evolution of art in Japan. The museum is spacious, quiet, and very well maintained.
An eye-opening experience to witness history from the world of art, with a nice selection of gifts from the souvenir shop too. A nice place to reflect upon history and one self through art in tranquility.
Absolutely lovely (and big!) museum with a wide variety of exhibitions. The shop stocked some delightful items. Would highly recommend. You can get a coffee in the cute truck outside. Thank you!
Some great works able to cover in an hour, which included the time to read about the interesting pieces, a Matisse and a Cezanne were the most notable non Japanese pieces, the Japanese works were outstanding and there was a good mix of styles and influences, will pay extra for the additional collection on display next time, I’m sure there some important pieces there also.
I visited on Museum Day when admission was free.
The collection was impressive and well-organized. A peaceful and inspiring place — I really enjoyed it!
Highly recommended! I’d love to visit again.
