Built on the emperor’s funeral site in Meiji Jingu Gaien, the gallery is a striking example of early modern Japanese architecture and has earned its status as an Important Cultural Property. Inside, visitors encounter two impressive halls adorned with 80 mural paintings that illustrate pivotal moments from Emperor Meiji’s reign, reflecting Japan’s transformative journey into the modern era.
