Which museum in Tokyo was designed by Le Corbusier?

The museum in Tokyo designed by Le Corbusier is the National Museum of Western Art.

Located in Ueno Park, the museum’s main building was designed by Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, better known as Le Corbusier. It opened in 1959 and was built to house the collection assembled by Japanese industrialist Kōjirō Matsukata. The project also symbolised the restoration of diplomatic ties between Japan and France after the Second World War.

Le Corbusier produced the overall concept and masterplan, while his Japanese former apprentices Kunio Maekawa, Junzo Sakakura, and Takamasa Yoshizaka developed the detailed drawings and supervised construction. The building uses reinforced concrete, pilotis, a central hall, a promenade ramp, and carefully controlled natural light. Its design reflects Le Corbusier’s Modulor system of human-based proportions. It is often confused with the Tokyo National Museum, a separate institution in the same park. In 2016, the museum became part of UNESCO’s World Heritage listing of Le Corbusier’s architectural works.
