Welcome to Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, a beautiful labyrinth of art and light!

Surrounded by the greenery of Ueno Park, the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum was established in 1975 as Japan's first public art museum. Not only can you enjoy a wide variety of exhibitions from Japan and abroad, but it is also popular as a place to not only "view" but also "experience" art. The museum has an open atmosphere that makes it easy for anyone to drop in, making the world of art feel even more accessible. Of particular note is the world of art that extends beyond the museum! The outdoor sculptures installed in the garden are all fascinating works that will make you want to stop in your tracks. ・"Möbius Cube" by Shimizu Kyubei: The twisting cubes have a mysterious structure reminiscent of an infinite loop. The impression changes depending on the viewing angle, making you lose track of time as you stare. ・"Three Cubes" by Vasarely: Geometric yet somehow rhythmic. The simple shape has a profound visual playfulness, and it looks great in photos! ・Three Cuboids by Aoki Noe: An exquisite balance of softness within the coldness of the metal. The work reflects the greenery of the garden and the colors of the sky, changing its appearance depending on the season and time of day. ・My Sky Hole: Light and Shadow by Inoue Bukichi: A reverse idea of ​​looking up at the sky through a hole in the ground. The sunlight and the movement of the clouds blend into the work, making it a place where you can truly experience "light and shadow." A luxurious moment where nature and art come together in harmony in the middle of the city. Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum is a truly "museum to be experienced with the whole body," where you can enjoy not only the indoor exhibits but also the outdoor space. If you come to Ueno, be sure to take a journey of the mind and senses. #Spring0YenTrip
