3 Big buildings full of art and history! Nice way to spend a day at Ueno park, and perhaps Ameyokocho as well. Most of the park streets are lined with Sakura trees so be sure to visit around that season.

The regular exhibits were beautiful. However, the special exhibition, Yamoto-E and the Hanshen and Shide, painted interpretations were wonderful.

A lot of the display was on the art pieces and artefacts. Could do more to educate visitors on how these influence the daily lives. Not much information after the Edo period….

Fantastic museum. One of the only places in Japanese tourist areas where you will actually learn something about what you are looking at and about Japanese history and culture. Wheelchair access is quite good except for the VERY steep ramp at entrance.

It's a fun and fairly inexpensive museum to visit if you happen to be in Tokyo, but I wouldn't go out of my way to see it. I've seen better curation at free museums

Take a look if you interested in Japan history and the park aside is joyful to walk by too.

A very well-maintained place. Japan has shown their great investment in education, history and culture.

This is for anyone with an interest in Asian history and art. There's fantastic exhibits on Buddhist art, and seasonal art exhibitions from other parts of Asia (e.g. Jain scriptures from India).

Pretty much a must do if you have any interest in history or art. Good collection and easy to navigate. Could do with some more descriptions and background to exhibits also seems like a lot of the headline objects aren't always on display.
