Lonely Planet review for Tokyo Metropolitan Museum Of Art

Established in 1926, this museum hosts special exhibitions of everything from traditional Japanese arts, such as ink brush and ikebana, to avant-garde shows paid for by groups of artists who collaborate to rent gallery space. One annual event taking place in November, which consistently draws hundreds of thousands, is the exhibit of the Nitten.

The Nitten is considered to be the leading association of Japanese artists, in Japanese- and Western-style painting, calligraphy, sculpture and craft as art. The museum also boasts an excellent, free art library.
