The Kyoto National Museum, located in Kyoto, Japan, is one of the country's foremost cultural institutions, dedicated to the preservation and exhibition of traditional Japanese art and artifacts. Established in 1897, the museum primarily focuses on pre-modern Japanese art, including paintings, sculptures, ceramics, textiles, and archaeological findings. The museum's collection is housed in both the Meiji Kotokan, a historic building designed in a classical European style, and a modern exhibition hall designed by architect Yoshio Taniguchi.
