Museum of East-Asian Art

The Museum of East Asian Art holds extensive collections of Chinese, Korean, and Japanese art, including Buddhist sculptures, paintings, and ceramics, displayed in rotating exhibitions.

Founded in 1913 by Frieda and Adolf Fischer as Europe's first specialist museum of its kind, the building was destroyed in World War II and reopened in 1977.

The museum preserves artifacts such as an ancient Chinese carillon from 800 A.D., Japanese screens, horizontal scrolls, woodcuts, and Korean ceramics from different periods.

Located near tram lines 1 and 7, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 to 17:00, with regular guided tours and workshops for various age groups.

Japanese architect Kunio Maekawa designed the current building with brown ceramic tiles and glass walls, incorporating traditional Japanese elements around a central garden.
