奈良国立博物館In Nara Park is the late-nineteenth century Nara Museum.
The forebear of the current institution, the Imperial Nara Museum, opened in April 1895.
It houses works of art and archaeological artifacts related to Buddhist art.
The original purpose of creating a national museum in Nara was "to conserve a large collection of masterpiece artworks and treasures owned by local temples and shrines."
The elegant old building(s) is located in the heart of Nara Park, close to the Prefectural Government Building, Todaiji Temple, and Kasuga Grand Shrine.
