Photo Book
LE CORBUSIER — THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF WESTERN ART
Photography by Mikiya Takimoto

The National Museum of Western Art, designed by Le Corbusier, was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site and will mark the 10th anniversary of its inscription in July 2026.
To commemorate this milestone, MT Gallery will publish a photo book featuring works by photographer Mikiya Takimoto.
Produced with the full cooperation of the museum, this publication includes photographs of areas not usually accessible, such as interior spaces and the rooftop, as well as the exterior. Through an artistic lens, it captures the museum’s distinctive character shaped by architecture, space, and light. Beyond its architectural significance as a work by Le Corbusier, the book newly documents and communicates the museum’s cultural value from a fresh perspective.
The volume features 41 newly commissioned works. It is conceived as a cultural record that will carry the museum’s universal value forward to future generations, while offering visitors, as well as students and researchers in Japan and abroad, a deeper appreciation of both the architecture and the museum itself.
