The Tokugawa Art Museum in Nagoya, Honshu, Japan | Museum

The Tokugawa Art Museum was established under the non-profit The Tokugawa Reimeikai Foundation in 1935. The Museum ranks as the third oldest privately-endowed Museum in Japan.
Surviving from air-bombing during World War II and the disruptions of the immediate post-war period, the Museum celebrated its fiftieth anniversary in 1985. To commemorate this milestone, long- planned for and extensive renovations began. After two years of construction work, with many months closed to the public, the new galleries and visitors' spaces, along with renovations of the old main-exhibition building and administration and research facilities were completed in Autumn 1987.
