Japanese art, Western art, science, folklore, film, manga, literature ... There are more than 5,000 registered museums in Japan, that is, museums, art galleries, and archives. Through their exhibits and collections, we can consider the works, artists, and production backgrounds, get a bird's-eye view of things from their origins to the present, and think about the stories left by history. The more you visit a museum, the more you can come into contact with things you didn't know and make new discoveries. In this issue of BRUTUS , we introduce topics that will make you want to visit a museum in 2025, as well as collections from 155 museums in Japan and abroad, opening the door to new perspectives.
