At a Glance
The Tokyo Photographic Art Museum is a public museum of photography and moving images in Yebisu Garden Place, Meguro, Tokyo. It stands in the Mita district, a short walk from Ebisu Station. The museum opened in a temporary building in 1990 and moved to its current building in January 1995, when it was one of the first photography museums in Japan not dedicated to a single photographer. Since a renovation that ended in 2016 it has called itself TOP Museum.
The museum has exhibition rooms on the second and third floors and a moving-image room in the basement, a library of photography books on the fourth floor, and a ground-floor hall that screens new films. Most exhibitions are themed rather than tied to one photographer, and it also shows anime and video games. The collection includes work by Araki Nobuyoshi, Kimura Ihei, Moriyama Daido and Hosoe Eikoh, among others. A museum shop and a cafe are on site.
