  • Tokyo National Museum
    Ⅱ Outline of the National Institutes for Cultural Heritage The Independent Administrative Institution (IAI), National Institutes for Cultural Heritage, was formed in April 2007 through the merging of the IAI National Museums (Tokyo National Museum, Kyoto National Museum, Nara National Museum, and Kyushu National Museum) and the IAI National Research Institutes for Cultural Properties (Tokyo National Research Institute for Cultural Properties and Nara National Research Institute for Cultural Properties), all of which share the same mission: the conservation and utilization of cultural properties. With the addition of the International Research Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia-Pacific Region, which was established in October 2011, the National Institutes for Cultural Heritage now comprise a total of seven separate institutions. Japan’s cultural properties are the precious assets of the Japanese people. In order to preserve and utilize these properties more effectively and efficiently under unified management, each ofthe seven existing institutions plays the following roles: Tokyo National Museum Kyoto National Museum Nara National Museum As Japan’s foremost museum in the The Kyoto National Museum collects, Nara National Museum collects, pre- humanities field, Tokyo National Mu- preserves, manages, and exhibits serves, manages, and displays cultural seum collects, preserves, manages, cultural properties, while also properties, while also conducting re- and displays cultural properties from conducting research and providing search and providing educational pro- across Japan and other Asian regions, educational programs.
