Review & FAQ:

The Kyoto National Museum features curated collections of pre-modern Japanese and Asian art. For more than 120 years, the museum has displayed cultural artifacts and works of art in indoor and outdoor exhibit spaces. The Heisei Chishinkan building houses the museum’s permanent collections. This modern building was designed by Japanese architect Yoshio Taniguchi who was also responsible for the redesign of New York’s Museum of Modern Art. In addition to the collections and special exhibitions, guests can visit Benrido, the museum’s gift shop, have a cup of signature brew at MAEDA-COFFEE, or have a bite to eat in the in-house restaurant, THE MUSES.
