Tokyo Photographic Art Museum

ArtPhotographyOpen until 8pmFrom £700JR Ebisu Station (East Exit)

Conegut localment com el Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography (TOP Museum), aquesta institució del Govern Metropolità de Tòquio va obrir el 1990 i es va traslladar a l’edifici actual, a Yebisu Garden Place, el 1995. Això el va convertir en una de les primeres galeries del Japó dedicades íntegrament a la fotografia i a l’art de la imatge en moviment, en lloc de centrar-se en l’obra d’un sol fotògraf. Les tres plantes d’exposicions acullen mostres independents i rotatòries procedents de la col·lecció pròpia i exposicions itinerants, a més d’un cinema i una biblioteca especialitzada en fotografia. L’edifici va ser objecte d’una important renovació entre el 2014 i el 2016.
