This exceptionally rich museum presents its collections in rotating exhibitions. When it was established in 1875, it was called the Imperial Museum and was housed in a brick building. All the works came from the temples and shrines in the Kansai region. The museum was transferred to the city in 1924 by the imperial family and nationalized in 1965. It contains a very large collection of paintings which traces the evolution of Japanese culture, but also many sculptures and archaeological pieces from the Heian period.

Le musée national de Kyoto est un très beau musée, ouvert récemment et avec une muséographie moderne. J'ai particulièrement apprécié la salle principale qui présente de nombreuses sculptures exceptionnelles provenant de différents temples. Un audioguide permet aussi de bien contextualiser les oeuvres. Les photos ne sont pas autorisées.
