Japon Louvre Sculpture Museum, Art museum in Tsu, Japan.
The Japon Louvre Sculpture Museum houses approximately 1,300 exact replicas of sculptures cast directly from original artworks in the Paris Louvre Museum. The collection spans different periods and styles, displayed in well-lit galleries throughout the building.
The museum opened in 1987 under architect Kisho Kurokawa's design, created as a sister institution to the Louvre outside France. The founding idea was to make Western art values accessible to a wider Japanese and Asian audience.
The museum displays famous classical works like the Venus de Milo and Nike of Samothrace that visitors can study firsthand. These pieces allow people to experience Western art history directly without traveling to Paris.
The museum sits about five minutes walk from Sakakibara-Onsen-guchi Station and opens daily for visitors. It is easy to reach and offers enough space to explore the full collection without feeling rushed.
Every piece was created using special casting techniques that preserve the exact dimensions and details of the Paris originals. This makes it possible to experience the artworks physically in their true scale and proportions.
