Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum

 

The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston boasts one of the world’s finest collections of art, covering a wide range of times and regions, from the United States to ancient Egypt, Asia and Europe.

Through a selection of about 60 fine works from its collection, the show will shed light on the relationship between hierarchs and art, in the east and the west.

More than half of the works will be on view for the first time in Japan.

This show, initially scheduled in 2020 to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the Boston museum, had been postponed due to the pandemic situation.
