National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo ๐จ
The most well-known pieces are undoubtedly Monet's "Water Lilies" and "Boating." โค๏ธ These paintings attract a large number of visitors. โค๏ธ It is said that Monet's "Boating" was inspired by the popular ukiyo-e prints from Japan's Edo period, and Monet himself was one of the first Impressionist painters to collect and study ukiyo-e extensively. ๐ธ My personal favorite is the self-portrait by Suzanne Valadon. ๐ As a renowned Parisian female writer, her self-portrait feels incredibly lifelike and impactful. โค๏ธ It was the first time I truly appreciated the charm of Rococo style. ๐จ ๐ The museum offers audio guides in Chinese, so don't worry about not understanding the exhibits! ๐ โค๏ธ โผ๏ธโผ๏ธ Lastly, the museum shop offers a variety of exquisite and adorable items, including postcards, exhibition catalogs, and souvenirs. ๐ I also spotted scarves and tapes featuring the "Water Lilies" โ they are truly artistic and perfect for those who love cultural and creative products! ๐ #Tokyo ๐๐ #TokyoLife ๐ #WhatToDoInTokyo ๐
