The Tokyo National Museum of Western Art
The Tokyo National Museum of Western Art is definitely worth a visit! π π Monet's Water Lilies πΊ Rodin's sculptures πΏ π¨π Picasso's paintings π¨ πLe Corbusier's architecture ποΈ The Tokyo National Museum of Western Art is located within Ueno Park and was the first place we visited after arriving in Tokyo. π¨π While in the park, we met an elderly gentleman who was painting with water. He kept asking the children what they wanted to draw and then sketched various cartoon characters. π¨π At that moment, the Japanese sense of childlike wonder was truly embodied. πI said that when I grow old, I want to be an old lady who draws for kids too! πΏ Designed by Le Corbusier and his Japanese disciples Kunio Maekawa, Junzo Sakakura, and Takashi Yoshizaka, the museum perfectly embodies the Modulor concept and the Five Principles of Modern Architecture. π π¨π In addition to its stunning architectural design, the museum's collection is also said to be the most extensive in Asia. π #TokyoTravel #TokyoNationalMuseumOfWesternArt πΏ
