Kyoto National Museum

The new wing, located on the west side, was designed by Yoshio Taniguchi and completed in 2014. 🌊🎢 At first glance, it has a very modern style, but through cantilevers, gaps, and the play of light and shadow, it dissolves the sense of mass oppression and has already blended into the Kyoto Higashiyama cultural circle in terms of appearance. 🍃🌺Inside, whether it is the wood-grained concrete interior walls, the glass curtains like shoji doors, or the vertical windows like a tea room, modern material technology has become the spiritual medium of traditional culture, proving that modernity does not have to be at the expense of the accumulation of historical symbols. 🌟🌸 The old building, as a monument to Meiji nationalism, and the new building, as a global city living room, are juxtaposed in a way that makes the museum a place where you can see history. 🍃🌺 #KyotoTravel #KyotoNationalMuseum
