You can browse through the museum's extensive permanent exhibits, plus sample special shows. The Tokyo National Museum is worth a visit for its Japanese and Asian art. One photo shows a crowd lined up for hot dogs at Brooklyn's Ebbetts Field. There's also a series of recordings of American fiddle music and a 1903 Alphonse and Gaston film clip, to cite just a few of the site's offerings. Russia's premier art collection is in St. Petersburg's Winter Palace, onetime home of Russian czars.
Virtual tours show both the art and the gilded surroundings.
