Bridgestone Museum of Art
Bridgestone Museum of Art (ブリヂストン美術館 Burijisuton Bijutsukan?) is an art museum in Tokyo, Japan.[1]
The museum was founded in 1952 by the founder of Bridgestone Tire Co., Ishibashi Shojiro (his family name means stone bridge).[2] The museum's collections include Impressionists, Post-Impressionists and twentieth-century art by Japanese, European and American artists, as well as ceramic works from Ancient Greece. The museum is located in the headquarters of the Bridgestone Corporation in Chūō, Tokyo.
Closure and eventual reopening
The museum closed its doors on 18 May 2015 in order to make way for the construction of a new building. It will reopen after several years, though no exact date has been specified.[3]
During the long-term closure, various items from the museum's collection have been loaned out for display in other institutions.[4]
