Miho Museum
MIHO MUSEUM, opened in 1997, is an art museum designed by the world-renowned architect I.M. Pei. The design theme is "paradise," providing a mystical space where nature, architecture, and art harmonize. More than 80% of the building is underground, integrating it into the surrounding nature. The collection includes approximately 3,000 items of ancient art from Egypt, Greece, and Asia, as well as displays of Japanese antiques. Special exhibitions are held in spring, summer, and autumn, and the café and restaurant, which use organic and pesticide-free ingredients, are also popular.
