Formerly the Bridgestone Museum of Art, this reopened Kyobashi institution holds a distinguished collection of French Impressionist and modern painting assembled by the founder of a tyre manufacturer. Works by Monet, Cezanne and Japanese Western-style painters hang in bright, spacious galleries within a sleek new high-rise. The collection also includes ancient Mediterranean and Japanese art, giving unexpected breadth. Timed online tickets and generous ceiling heights make for an unhurried viewing experience in central Tokyo.
