10 Best Museums in Tokyo | Condé Nast Traveler

"An intimate four-story space in the Yebisu Garden Palace complex, the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum hosts three tightly focused exhibitions on Japanese and international photography at any given time. Unlike, say, the Tokyo National Museum, this is more of a low-key local haunt than a high-profile tourist attraction. Curators go to great lengths to make the presentation matches the subject matter, and the bright, modern interior and the well-organized galleries make for an interesting detour if you’re in the neighborhood." - Diana Hubbell

Went there yesterday to watch a movie from Kumamoto titled "Boneless lantern." It is one of the most beautiful films I have ever watched. The film will help you understand what happens when we grieve for our loved ones - the pain and the beauty of its all. It also portray th beauty of community, something that is increasingly rare in the city life nowadays. The ticket costs 2,000 yen for adult. The film provide English, Chinese, and French subtitles depending on the showtime, which is available in the museum's website. It will be screened until 22 June. The museum shop on the second floor is wonderful with creative items. I bought many gifts and postcards with joy. Would love to come again the next time I visit Japan.

The best place in Tokyo to see photographic art, both domestic and foreign. Established in 1995, it has collection of around 38,000 photographic and moving-image works, along with some related objects. The museum has 3 big halls - each houses different exhibition. They also have small gift shop with some interesting books (small but interesting selection with some signed by artists). Place is quiet and not too crowded, yet as all galleries in Tokyo - more famous exhibitions can be pretty packed on weekends. Fully recommended ❤️

The Tokyo Photographic Art Museum is currently hosting an exhibition of works by Luigi Ghirri. He doesn’t seem like the kind of person who became a photographer simply out of a love for taking pictures. Rather, he feels more like a thinker—someone who encountered photography as a medium for reflection and, through that, became a photographer. For fans of contemporary art, his work is easy to connect with. Some photos, for example, show people viewing paintings, captured from behind. The act of viewing itself—or perhaps the hesitation and awareness that comes with it—becomes the subject. If I could, I’d love to hang one of his works on my own wall and spend time reflecting on it myself.

The Tokyo Photographic Art Museum is awesome. I came here for the old Tokyo photography exhibit - A Traveler from 1200 Months in the Past. Admission was 700 yen. There were other exhibits and each one has their own admission cost. Video is not allowed and certain photos are not allowed to be photographed. It was great to see how Tokyo changed from patches of dirt to the way it is now.

Got to see the B1 exhibition for free with college student ID. All three exhibitions were not big, I only spent around 30 minutes in the museum.

Lovely museum. They had 3 exhibitions going on while I was there (one at each level) and you could choose which ones you wanted to visit. One exhibition cost around 1000 yen, 2 around 1500 yen and 3 at 2000 yen. I love the photography exhibition about Tokyo the most. The prints were beautiful and impressive. They also allow cameras. Makes for a great visit if you are popping by the area!

I attended the recent exhibit on the photographs taken by Japanese photographers in the immediate aftermath of the Hiroshima bombing. The photographs were incredibly powerful, as was the story of those who tried to preserve the photos in the face of military occupation where the truth of the power of the atomic bomb was fraught and the photos subject to confiscation and destruction. Other exhibits were under renovation but I look forward to returning.

While on one of my trips to Tokyo in 2011 (yes it is a bit late as Yelp wasn't in Japan yet) I got to visit this Museum unfortunately I only got to visit part of the museum as it was quite large, There was a large exhibit of famous Photographers from all over the world including the likes of Walker Evans, Paul Fusco, Gary Winograd, Araki Nobuyoshi, Tsuchida Hiromi, Ishimoto Yasuhiro, Kuwabara Kineo, Kimura Ihee, Usui Kaoru, Jaques Henri Lartigue, Kondo Tomio, Richard Avedon, Henri Cartier Bresson, Ryan McGinley, Martin Munkacsi, Scott Schuman, Walker Evans, Bruce Davison, Fukase Masahisa, Moriyama Daido and Takano Ryudai. This exhibit I have to admit just blew me away it was spectacular! I would love to visit again and see what other exhibits they may have when I am there next. If you love Photography you just have to check out this place.
