Tokyo National Museum

This famous museum houses the largest collection of Japanese artifacts and artworks in the world. With over 100,000 pieces and room to display only 4,000, exhibits are rotated constantly

Located at the top of Ueno Park this is a very large museum and is worth a visit to get a real appreciation of Japanese history and culture. My time was limited so only got to see a portion of worth I wanted to see but would definitely return if back in Tokyo.

National Museum of Western Art

Reviewed By PatrickLLLL - Hong Kong, China

One of the few western arts museums in the world which features a great collection of paintings by masters such as Renoir, Manet, Monet, Gaugin and more than a dozen sculptures by Rodin, and offers free admission to the public (on Saturdays). Seniors over 65 can enter free on all days. The Museum itself was the work of Le Corbusier and part of the UNESCO world heritage sites collectively designated under his name. Highly recommended. The annotations are in multiple languages including English. Allow 2 hours at least for a visit.

Geidai Art Plaza

On October 2, 2018, Geidai Art Plaza was opened in the campus of Tokyo University of the Arts in Ueno, Tokyo. The works of students, teachers, and graduates of Tokyo University of the Arts (Geidai) are exhibited and sold there. This place is the so-called Dejima (*) of Geidai, where works of artists from 14 departments in two faculties are presented to people in society and the world outside the university. In Dejima, there are works that cost tens of thousands of yen while a one-of-a-kind broach is sold at only 1,000 yen. You will find not only works of art but also other unique items with the design of Geidai, such as original biscuits, marshmallows, and museum goods. Also, art books, comic books, and magazines can be found on the bookshelf. Tokyo University of the Arts has only 130 years of history since its establishment immediately after the word “art” first appeared in Japan. Geidai Art Plaza is a place where artists who gather together at Geidai show their creative spirit.
