Hermoso museo por fuera de estilo moderno e industrial diseñado en los 50s por el arquitecto muy famoso Le Corbusier. Las obras que contiene son espectaculares y, naturalmente, de artistas de Occidente (Europa, USA, etc). El museo original fue construido para que los japoneses conocieran más y mejor el pensamiento occidental. Hay exhibiciones especiales de gran calado, como la de ahora mismo de pintores impresionistas (Monet, Renoir, etc.). Si te gusta el arte, debes venir al museo.

Es un lugar de exposiciones, la entradas 500 yenes. La parte de afuera tienes un par o tres de esculturas. Hay exposiciones de cuadros interesantes, si es un día de lluvia o os gusta el tema del arte vale la pena como complementar al viaje de turismo. Esta desddme la estación de Ueno a 5 min andando. El horario de L a J 9h 30 a 17h 30. V y S el horario de cierre es más tarde.

Museo compuesto por 3 edificios (visitables 2: espeleologia y antiguadades, y arte), muy amplios, iluminados, nada caros (precio por persona 1000¥, visita especial >2000¥) pagamos los billetes sencillos y vimos casi todo. Piezas preciosas de diferentes épocas de toda Asia. Las plantas están comunicadas de forma que las plantas pares comparten escaleras, las impares también, y entre ellas (algunas) comunican entre sí. Nos volvimos locos para dar con las escaleras de la 4F pero las encontramos. Baños en varias plantas. Servicio locker para los paraguas 🌂. (La foto de las muñecas tradicionales es del 2° edificio. Arte)
