Preface by Frédéric Girard.
Through a single object, the art museum in Japan, this book offers a global vision touching on the history of museums, architecture, museology, museography-scenography, with significant examples of museum exhibition spaces, from the birth of the museum in Japan to the Meiji era, then from 1990 to the present. This is a first-hand book, easy to handle for a reader curious to get an idea of museum and Japanese themes, which puts within reach of the neophyte as well as the expert a subject that is still too little known.
