Located in the center of a bustling business district, Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum, Tokyo offers an escape from the rush of city life. The building opened in 2010 within Marunouchi Brick Square, surrounded by offices, shops, and restaurants. The complex is a reconstruction of Mitsubishi’s previous home, first built in 1894 by Josiah Conder and in use until 1964. Programming at the museum reflects the period of modernization undertaken by Japan during the 19th century, and holds exhibitions themed around the era. The museum’s permanent collection is home to works by Redon, Toulouse-Lautrec, and many other turn of the century Western artists.
