The Tokyo National Museum is the largest museum in Japan. There are twenty-five exhibition galleries in the main building, with twenty of them open to the public. The museum is filled with treasures from the Asuka period to the present and vary from Buddhist sculptures, Japanese/Korean/Chinese ceramics and pottery to colored xylographs and lacquerwork. The Zoo in Ueno Park opened in 1882 thus making it the oldest zoological garden in Japan. Divided into two sections, the Zoo is connected by a monorail. Designed by the Swiss architect Le Corbusier, the National Museum of Western Art was built in 1959 to house Western sculpture and paintings. Impressionist paintings by Cézanne, Monet, Manet and Degas can be found. Most of the items found in the museum were collected by Matsukata Kojiro during his stay in Europe at the beginning of the last century. Other attractions in the park include the Gallery of Far Eastern Art, the Japanese Academy of Art, the Municipal Art Gallery, the National History Museum, Kuroda Hall, an Aquarium - one of the largest in Asia, and the National Science Museum.
