At a Glance
The Museum of the Imperial Collections is a museum inside the Imperial Palace East Garden in Chiyoda, Tokyo. It shows changing exhibitions drawn from the art and treasures of the imperial household, and it is run by the National Institutes for Cultural Heritage.
The museum opened in 1993 to preserve and study about 6,000 works that the imperial family gave to the state in 1989, and later gifts raised the collection to roughly 9,800 items. A rebuilding programme was designed to enlarge the exhibition space to eight times the old size and the storage to four times. In 2021 five works were designated National Treasures for the first time, including Itō Jakuchū's Dōshoku sai-e, Kanō Eitoku's Karajishi-zu Byōbu and the Mōko Shūrai Ekotoba scroll.
