The cornerstone of our museum.
The Japanese collection forms the cornerstone of this museum. Thanks to the purchase of collections amassed by medical doctor and academic P.F von Siebold and others, the museum was able to build up a Japanese collection that is unrivalled anywhere in the world. A unique aspect of this collection is that it offers a comprehensive picture of Japanese society in the early nineteenth century.
