Sat in Ueno forest, the distinctive red-brick tile construction of this striking museum has served as a hall for the fine arts since it first opened in 1926.
Once inside you’ll find the museum hosts a number of different exhibits, including special exhibitions with masterpieces from Japan and overseas, self-planned exhibitions, and open call exhibitions. You’ll also find the "Art Communication Programs," a program dedicated to fostering connections among people through art, providing special opportunities and viewings for children and people with disabilities.
Museum restaurants, cafe, and museum shop also await inside.

It's right inside Ueno Park. On a hot day, I came in to cool off and was surprised to find so many creative works on display in this museum. Plus, there's no admission fee.
