Nara National Museum, Art museum in Nara, Japan
The museum building consists of two main wings: a western-style structure from 1894 and an eastern wing completed in 1972.
The Imperial Household Ministry founded this museum in 1889 to preserve and display cultural artifacts from temples in the Nara region.
The permanent exhibition features Buddhist statues, paintings, scrolls, and ceremonial objects from the 6th through 14th centuries.
The museum opens daily from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM, with extended hours until 8:00 PM during special exhibitions from July to September.
The west wing displays rotating exhibits of national treasures from neighboring temples during the annual Shoso-in exhibition in autumn.
