In commemoration of the 130th anniversary, the museum's curators and photographer Tomohiro Muda selected 130 masterpieces from its collection of about 2,000 works which Muda then captured in the recently published art book The Three-Thousandfold Universe: 130 Masterpieces from the Nara National Museum.
