Tokyo, Japan
Tokyo National Museum
The oldest and largest museum in Japan, and the best introduction to its art anywhere.

Samurai armour, swords, ceramics, calligraphy and Buddhist sculpture across several buildings in Ueno Park. Because works rotate for conservation reasons, no two visits are quite the same.
Opening hours and prices change regularly — always check the museum’s own site before you travel.
