Some really lovely and interesting pieces in here, we especially loved the exhibit with the calendars, kimonos and sketch books right at the end.

Staff were very friendly & their gift shop is packed full of different goods!

A very nice museum near the Imperial Palace. A nice mix of different types of art, and a cool rotating exhibit. Clean, well run, and staff was kind. Would love to come back in the future!

I went here specifically to see the 120th anniversary exhibition of Shikō Munakata. This was excellent, and told the story from the beginning of how he started out in the art world, his Aomiri upbringing, and how he was influenced by the folk art movement. His wood block prints are iconic. Only problem was this exhibition was so busy, and I went on a week day. Highly recommended!!

This is a large museum (four floors) with a great collection of various artists. They charge either regular fee (from 4th floor to 2nd floor exhibition) or special fee which includes first floor exhibition.

We chose the special fee which offered us a unique opportunity to know about this artist Munakata Shiko. He is a very prolific artist.

The price is totally worth it. Please allocate at least two hours to tour the museum.

We visited an exhibition of Shiko Munakata and it was such a pleasure. We never heard of this artist before and so we totally discovered his live path, art career and personality through exhibition. It was very well done with a lot of English translation included. Museum is huge and worth to visit for sure.

I love the extra care that was given in the curatorial texts/captions. It was written in simple language, given in good context/period without being too lengthy. It takes a lot of efforts to make long explanations simple! Well done!

Beautiful collection offering a retrospective of Japan's 20th century art. Really worth a visit. Stone's throw from the Imperial Palace Gardens

One adult ticket for the Momat exhibit was ¥500 which is really cheap for how much there was to see. The art is phenomenal and the museum is really well kept. Highly recommend!
