Tucked away in the mountains of Shiga, the Miho Museum offers an unforgettable encounter with world-class art and visionary design by legendary architect I.M. Pei. Visitors approach the site through an ethereal tunnel and suspension bridge, emerging onto a luminous glass-and-steel pavilion conceived as a modern Shangri-La. Inside, an extraordinary collection of ancient antiquities from Asia, the Middle East, and the Greco-Roman world is showcased against serene panoramic nature views. It is a stunning cultural pilgrimage that effortlessly harmonizes humanity's creative spirit with the beauty of the surrounding wilderness.
