    The Tokyo National Museum has a comprehensive collection of different arts and antiques from various Asian countries. They opened in 1872 and have adapted their collections in relation to changes in history and Japanese culture. The website itself is quite easy to use and provides guests with information about in-person visits as well as online virtual museum visits through their YouTube playlist. They also provide information on current exhibits, events, collections, and ongoing research. 

    My favorite part of this museum's website is the fact that they have and English Online YouTube Playlist found directly on the front page. It shows videos in English that you can integrate in the classroom on topics such as teahouses, ukyio-e (woodblock printing), and samurai. You could show the ukyio-e video prior to encouraging the students to participate in "woodblock" paintings made of materials easily accessible to teachers and students.
