Column 1 Gallery

The museum's collection of Nishiki-e (Ukiyo-e prints) from the late Edo period to the beginning of the Meiji period are exhibited on the 2nd-floor gallery of "The House of Gas Lamps."
The matrix of the collection consists of works acquired during the editing of A 70-Year History of Tokyo Gas, published in 1956. The pictures are valuable materials in understanding the customs of the time.
