Ōta Memorial Museum of Art

ArtClosed · Opens 10:30amFrom £1200Harajuku Station (JR Yamanote Line)

Fundat el 1980 a partir de la col·lecció privada de l’empresari Seizo Ōta V, el Ōta Memorial Museum of Art conserva una de les millors col·leccions japoneses d’estampes xilogràfiques ukiyo-e: més de 12.000 obres d’artistes que van d’Utamaro i Hokusai a Hiroshige i molts altres. Amagat just al costat de Takeshita Street, a Harajuku, el museu no té una exposició permanent; en lloc d’això, presenta un programa canviant d’exposicions temàtiques aproximadament cada un o dos mesos. El preu de l’entrada varia segons l’exposició, i el museu tanca diversos dies entre una mostra i la següent per renovar-ne el muntatge.
