Miho Museum

April 2012

The Miho Museum, designed by I.M. Pei, was built in 1996 to house the collection of the Shumei family. While the family had a very good collection when they engaged Pei in the design, the collection was significantly expanded and enhanced at the urging of Pei in order to create a world class collection to be shown in his world class museum design. Because photos of the collection are not permitted, this gallery shows only the architecture of the museum.
