Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum, Tokyo, Japan

Decided on a whim to visit the Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum in Tokyo to see the exhibition.
The museum features a perfect blend of art and space.

Here is some information found online:
Originally built in 1894, designed by British architect Josiah Conder. This building was the first Western-style red brick building in the Marunouchi area of Tokyo, serving as the Mitsubishi company's office building. It witnessed the early development of the Mitsubishi Group and carries important history related to Japan's modernization process.

Since the late 19th century, the Mitsubishi Group gradually purchased large plots of land in the Marunouchi area, transforming it into "Tokyo's Wall Street," gathering numerous financial and commercial institutions. The Ichigokan served as the starting point of this development plan and became one of the symbols of Marunouchi as a commercial center.

The original building was demolished in 1968 due to deterioration, but the Mitsubishi Group rebuilt it in 2009 based on the original design plans and transformed it into the Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum. As part of the group's social contribution, this museum is dedicated to promoting art and culture.

The exhibition layout is also very well planned, and I really like the atmosphere of this museum.
