This major exhibition traces the splendor of the Habsburg family, which ruled Europe for over six hundred years and whose members were known for their love of the arts. Over one hundred selected works of painting, decorative art, and armor from the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna and the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest will be exhibited. Noteworthy among these objects will be an Edo-period album consisting of a hundred paintings and a lacquered bookshelf with makie (sprinkled metal design) presented by the Meiji Emperor to King Francis Joseph, which will be returning to and shown in Japan for the first time.

KYOTO NATIONAL MUSEUM closes it from March 15 to April 9.
