Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography (Tokyo-to Shashin Bijutsukan)

Frommer's Review

This museum has an impressive 18,000 works in its photographic inventory, ranging from the historical to the contemporary, with about 70% by Japanese photographers. Exhibitions from Japan and abroad, many on the cutting edge of contemporary photography, are shown in one gallery, while another features a rotating exhibit of the museum's holdings (occasionally the permanent collection is usurped by a special exhibition). In the basement is the Images & Technology Gallery, which displays materials and equipment from the earliest days of filming to the latest technological advances. I can easily spend an hour here, lost in another world.
