美秀美术馆

Highly recommend this beauty of a museum designed by I.M. Pei if you are staying in Kyoto for more than a couple days. A great day trip out to Shiga prefecture. Please check their website for directions and opening hours. May be closed during winter time.

Far from the crowded cities, the Miho Museum is nestled among the verdant Shigaraki Mountains.

日本でも有数のコレクションを持っている美術館です。 Museum famous among art lovers for its splendid collection, designed by world-famous architect, I.M. Pei, and half hidden undergrounds for environmental consideration.
