    The Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, located in Ueno Park, is Japan's first public art museum, established in 1926. Designed by modernist architect Kunio Maekawa, its current building (1975) is lauded for harmonizing with the park's natural setting. While it hosts a small permanent collection of modern sculpture and calligraphy, it's primarily renowned for its diverse schedule of high-profile temporary exhibitions, showcasing both Japanese and international modern art, as well as works by public art groups.
