Tokyo museum undergoes facelift
Tokyo
THE National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo's Ueno Park, which local authorities and residents seek to have registered as a world cultural heritage site, has recently closed the exhibition rooms in its main building for renovations.
Unesco's World Heritage Committee plans to hold deliberations in July next year, but the museum will remain closed through March 2016. This means it will be shuttered at a time when it will be crucial to boost momentum for the registration.
