The Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum (Tōkyōto Bijutsukan) is a museum of art located in Ueno Park, Tokyo, Japan. The first public art museum in Japan, it opened in 1926 as the Tokyo Prefectural Art Museum and was renamed in 1943 after Tokyo became a metropolitan prefecture. The original building was replaced by one built in 1975 designed by modernist architect Kunio Maekawa.
