This guidebook, which has been produced to commemorate the museum’s tenth anniversary, introduces I. M. Pei’s architecture, the collection, and the philosophy in which the museum was found.

MIHO MUSEUM’s 10th Anniversary Publication II
MIHO MUSEUM Architecture (tentative title; scheduled to be released in November)

This collection offers stunning architectural images of Architect I. M. Pei’s MIHO MUSEUM taken over a period of ten years by photographer Kiyohiko Higashide. I. M. Pei once said, “In architecture, light itself determines the success or failure of a building.” Higashide beautifully captured Pei’s light in this book.
