Guided Story

Do you feel the weight of history in these walls? Look up at those towering columns—they tell of a time that's complex and heavy. But here's something many don't know: during World War II, this place stored 'degenerate art' that the world now sees as masterpieces. Now, glance behind you past the Japanese Tea House Kanshoan and imagine those works coming back to show their true value. Walking through today’s exhibitions, you'll find pieces that were once seen as shocking but are now celebrated as innovative. Let yourself be surprised by the vibrant art that's alive here.
