The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo boasts one of the most prominent collections of modern art in Japan, including eleven Important Cultural Properties (one of which is a deposited piece). The permanent exhibition at the collection galleries on the fourth to second floors of the main building aims to provide a historical overview on modern Japanese art from the beginning of the 20th century to today. It presents about 200 pieces including overseas works and Important Cultural Properties selected from our museum's collection of 10,000 works, arranged into some chapters according to production dates. Many of the exhibits are changed four to five times a year. In addition, a small thematic show is given in each exhibition period to shed new light on the collection from various angles.
