国立西洋美术馆 The National Museum of Western Art

国立西洋美术馆以从法国捐赠返还的松方收藏品（以印象派的绘画和罗丹的雕塑为中心的法国美术收藏品）为基础，作为向广大公众提供观赏西洋美术相关作品的机构，于1959年4月设立。此后，作为涵盖西洋美术整体的唯一一家国立美术馆，以展览业务为中心，开展西洋美术相关作品及资料的收集、调查研究、保存修复、教育普及以及出版物的发行等活动。

在这些业务中的展览业务方面，在主馆（勒·柯布西耶设计，1959年）和新馆（前川国男设计，1979年）中，将成为本馆设立宗旨的松方收藏品的作品和创立以来每年购买的文艺复兴之后到二十世纪初期为止的作品和捐赠、托管作品作为常设展全年进行展览。此外，在作为企划和特别展专用展览室于1997年度竣工的企划展览馆中，以从欧美等美术馆借用的作品为对象，作为与报社等的联合展，每年举办三次左右的企划展，致力于广泛介绍西洋美术。

从2001年4月起，当时的四个国立美术馆转变成一个独立行政法人国立美术馆，国立西洋美术馆成为独立行政法人国立美术馆设立的美术馆之一。此外、2016年7月，组成财产中包括国立西洋美术馆在内的“勒·柯布西耶的建筑作品―对近代建筑运动的显著贡献”被列入世界遗产名录。

The National Museum of Western Art was established in April 1959 and was based on the Matsukata Collection focusing on the Impressionist paintings and Auguste Rodin’s sculptures previously stored by the French government. The museum’s purpose is to provide the public with opportunities to appreciate western art. Since its opening, the museum, as Japan’s only national institution devoted to western art, has been involved in exhibitions, art work and document acquisition, research, restoration and conservation, education and the publication of materials related to western art.

The museum exhibits works from the Matsukata Collection as well as works created from the Renaissance to the early 20th century that have been acquired since the museum’s opening. The museum has purchased art work every year since its establishment in its efforts to build and develop its permanent collection. These permanent collection works are displayed in the Main Building (Le Corbusier, 1959) and New Wing (MAEKAWA Kunio, 1979) throughout the year.

The museum also collaborates with media companies and others to present about three special exhibitions a year featuring loan works from overseas museums and collections. Special exhibitions are displayed in the Exhibition Galleries completed in 1997.

In April 2001, the National Museum of Western Art and three other national museums were merged to the umbrella organization known as Independent Administrative Institution National Museum of Art, which consisted of six museums as of 2018.

In 2016, “The Architectural Work of Le Corbusier, an Outstanding Contribution to the Modern Movement” including the National Museum of Western Art was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
