The Natinal museume of Western art wss founded in 1959 based on the collection of Matukata Kojiro, returned by French Government.
The building was designed by Le Corbisure who express his concept of The Museum of Ultimated Growth, based on expanding spiral. It has been nominated for inscripeon of UNESCO World Heritage List.
Main building was designed by Corbisure and later other buildings were designed by Kunio Maecawa who studied at sudio of Corbusure.

Tokyo National Museum has Japanese style roof 


















Hyokeikan is very western style


















I like Horyuji museum which is very simple but beautiful.  This is designed by Yoshio Taniguchi. Later by this design he was highly evaluated and was appointed to renobate MoMA in New York.



































International library of Children's literature
It was built in 1908 and renovated by Tadao Ando, conservation of old building




































There are lots of things to see in Ueno Park. Shinobazu lake, Ueno zoo, many architectures.
