Nagoya Boston Museum of Fine Arts

Nagoya/Boston Museum of Fine Arts is located in Nagoya, Japan. It is a sister museum of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston (MFA). The alliance has resulted in the exhibition of rare items that are related to Japan from the vast collection of MFA. Nagoya/Boston Museum of Fine Arts was opened on April 17, 1999.

Some of the famous exhibits in Nagoya/Boston Museum of Fine Arts are impressionistic paintings by the European painters and also works of art belonging to Egypt, Greece and Rome.

Every year Nagoya Museum of Fine Arts receives two five-month exhibits and a longer five-year exhibits from Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Though the Museum is known mostly for its Japanese corner, there are visible efforts on the part of the museum officials to make it more international.

The Nagoya/Boston Museum of Fine Arts occupies a space of 4,700 sq. m and its architecture clearly shows the influence of the MFA building in Boston. The similarity becomes especially pronounced when one sees the white granite façade of the Museum.

The concept of sister museums belong to the recent past and are fast gaining ground. Not only does it allow many more eyes to gaze on the exhibits but it also conforms to the rationale of globalization.
