The National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo's Ueno Park is Japan's only building by Le Corbusier, reflecting his 'museum of unlimited growth' concept. This UNESCO-listed site offers a unique architectural experience complemented by a rich permanent collection featuring Western masterpieces from the 14th to the 20th centuries, including works by Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh, and Picasso. The museum's design, with a ramp system and natural lighting, encourages a seamless exploration of its galleries.
