For lovers of Japan’s various artistic traditions, there are many different museums all over Japan. Some are public institutions, while others house the collections of private collectors.

Some are encyclopedic in their holdings, while others are devoted to a particular type of art or to a specific artist. Many are works of art in their own right, built by some of the world’s foremost architects.

Japan’s museums are the subjects of 24 videos in the Japan Foundation’s Doors to the Arts of Japan series.

In this final online lecture by Japanese art historian Meher McArthur, she will introduce a few of her favorite museums and their collections.

With travel season approaching soon, she will also include several museums featured in the video series that she has yet to visit but is excited to on her next trip to Japan. The short lecture will be followed with a brief Q&A session.
