★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Some cool older style paintings. Characterizes some of the history involving the Meiji emperor. They have the descriptions in Japanese and English. Pretty good for 500 yen. However, you are not allowed to take any pictures.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Over 50 different kinds of paintings and drawings. Brief but detailed info about each picture representing the Emperor Meiji's life and work as Emperor from his childhood till death. He reigned for 45 years and is known for opening up Japan to the world for the first time ever, as well as I and brought back power to the throne instead of shoguns and other clans. Quite informational about Japan's most recent history and enjoyable. Admission isn't free and it takes about an 60-90 minutes to go through the whole memorial.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was not that impressed by this building, probably because I was expecting more information about the Meiji Restorant, but instead we were given information about Meiji, the emperor. Plus we are not allowed to take pictures inside.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ For context, I am a native mainland Chinese in America.
Came here on a whim as it was along the subway path to Ginza. The building itself can be rather beautiful and the surrounding garden is a pleasant walk for anyone passing by.
Going in, I was under the impression that it would be a general historical museum and it was for the most part. The art covers the life of Emperor Meiji and in some ways, is also a depiction of the birth of modern Japan.
It's particularly interesting seeing the art change as European influences increase. There's a subtle transition from ukiyo-e to European realism, and I suppose this is partly due to Meiji's push for his cabinet to study in the West.
However, once you're around the 65% through the gallery, that's where things start to get iffy.
One thing I've noticed about Tokyo is that there's almost always translations in English, Chinese, and Korean since there's a massive number of Eastern Asian tourists. Not here, there's only Japanese and English, and I have to wonder if this is why.
Once we reach the 1910's and approach World War II, the art depicts battles and important moments leading up to the event and the translation might be off, but it's very much written in a propagandistic manner. The Russo-Japanese treaty and breaking of treaty, annexation of Taiwan and Korea, the Sino-Japanese war; the English translation for these events are extremely questionable. It was actually kind of a reminder that while Japan is friendly to foreign money, it is largely a nationalistic right-wing country.
The painting depicting the annexation of Korea and it's respective translation would probably piss off any Korean, no matter how open-minded they were.
While the art and history covered can be interesting and beautiful, it would be wise to take some of the exposition with a grain of salt.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It took me an hour to walk here from the Imperial Palace.
It’s an old historical building and architecturally dated but stands the test of time.
I’m not taking any photos inside but just letting the human senses loose.
Very nice!
