Lonely Planet review

Tokyo has a love affair with all things French, so it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that French impressionist art looms large in the civic imagination. The Bridgestone Tyre Company's collection, once kept privately by Bridgestone founder Ishibashi Shojiro, is one of the best French impressionist collections you'll find in Asia.

Though French painting is the star (think Renoir, Ingres, Corot, Matisse et al), the museum also exhibits sculpture and some works by Japanese impressionists as well as European pieces that employ abstract or neoclassical aesthetics.
