The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo (MoMAT) is Japan's first national art museum located in central Tokyo, near the Imperial Palace.

The main feature of the MOMAT is one of the largest collection in Japan comprising more than 13,000 items including Important Cultural Properties. It houses many Japanese masterpieces in various genres from the end of the 19th century to the present including works from abroad. In a turbulent age of Japan's rapid modernization, artists continued to search for truly epoch-making expression between the traditional Japanese sense of beauty and a different culture in Western art. What masterpieces were created by their efforts? The MOMAT Collection in the collection galleries on the fourth to second floors presents in each exhibition period 200 pieces selected from our collection. It is the only exhibition in Japan giving you an insight into Japanese art over more than a century at a single stroke.

Special thematic exhibitions featuring Japanese and overseas art are given several times a year in the gallery on the first floor. "A Room With a View" relaxation space offers a must-see view. Near the MoMAT are the Imperial Palace, Kitanomaru Park and Chidorigafuchi where visitors can enjoy Japanese culture and rich natural surroundings. These are ones of Japan's most renowned places for cherry blossoms that attract large crowds every spring, creating a spectacular atmosphere in the entire neighborhoods. Located within walking distance of Tokyo Station, a stroll around the area and a visit to the MOMAT would be an exciting combination throughout the year.

The history of the museum, of its building is quite unusual. In the centre of Paris on the banks of the Seine, opposite the Tuileries Gardens, the museum was installed in the former Orsay railway station, built for the Universal Exhibition of 1900. So the building itself could be seen as the first "work of art" in the Musee d'Orsay, which displays collections of art from the period 1848 to 1914.

Open from 9.30am to 6pm daily, except Mondays
Late night on Thursdays until 9.45pm
Last tickets sold at 5pm (9pm Thursdays), museum cleared at 5.30pm (9.15pm Thursdays)
Closed on Mondays, on 1 January, 1 May and 25 December

Christopher Columbus is a worldly recognised discoverer of America, but he also explored many other lands, previously unknown to Europeans. Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, the Lesser Antilles and the Bahamas - it is only a short list of his achievements.

The archipelago of Jardines de la Reina, lying 97 kilometers to the south off the coast of Cuba in the Caribbean Sea, is on that list too. It was discovered in 1494 during the second expedition of Christopher Columbus and was named so to honour the Queen of Spain: Jardines de la Reina (Gardens of the Queen). The archipelago consists of around 30 big islands that are practically uninhabited (the total area of 175 square kilometres is inhabited by only 12 people) and an uncountable number of cays.

These pristine islands, unaffected by people, covered by impassable mangroves and inhabited by crocodiles, turtles, iguanas and other representatives of wildlife, undoubtedly can be compared to a heavenly beautiful garden. But the true beauty of Jardines de la Reina is covered in the water: there is a coral reef stretching for almost 150 kilometers.

In 1996 the state of Cuba inscribed the archipelago and its surrounding waters as a part of the national park. Tourists come here for scuba diving in order to enjoy the underwater landscapes and wildlife. It's quite a safe diving destination: these waters are protected from strong sea currents and the temperature is rather comfortable - between +26C° and +29C°, the visibility is over 30 meters.

This protected area covering 2,170 square kilometers has no hotels (you can only stay on the board of a floating hotel "Tortuga" or several other dive-safari boats). Large-scale fishing activity is prohibited here, so it helps to preserve the diversity of rich and colourful underwater wildlife. The reef is a home to marine sponges, jellyfish, corals, molluscs and fish, including several species of sharks.
