With historical masterpieces from the world-famous Japan collection, the Tropenmuseum shows that today's icons stand in a long tradition. The similarities between the old masters and modern illustrators are striking. For example, in Cool Japan you will discover that centuries-old techniques and visual tricks in historical prints, woodcuts and paintings are still applied by modern mangaka (draftsmen) and animators.
A central eye-catcher is the four-meter-high painting Uki-Uki by Matsuura Hiroyuki in which traditional and contemporary elements precisely represent the core of the exhibition.
Opening hours
The Tropenmuseum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
