About the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum
The Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum is a museum of art in Ueno Park, Tokyo, Japan. Japan's first public art museum opened in 1926, under the name Tokyo Prefectural Art Museum. The museum took its present name in 1943, when Tokyo became a metropolitan prefecture. A newer building from 1975, designed by the modernist architect Kunio Maekawa, replaced the original one.
In March 1921, Kyushu coal magnate Keitaro Sato gave the prefectural government one million yen toward a permanent art museum, and the Tokyo Prefectural Art Museum opened on May 1, 1926. Several art critics quickly attacked it, since it was planned as a permanent museum yet had no permanent collection and mostly served as leased exhibition space for local art collectives.
The 1975 building was designed with the green setting of Ueno Park in mind. Critics and visitors have praised its aesthetic, which they describe as avant-garde and in harmony with the park around it. After the new building went up, the original site was demolished.

- Long blocks with ridged roofs
- Several long blocks sit side by side, each with a ridge and a line of small rooftop features. Layers of 0.12–0.16 mm keep the ridges crisp, and a larger print size keeps the small features readable.
- Fine wall texture
- The walls carry a dense pattern of small openings. Full detail keeps them on a larger print, while Print friendly adapts them to the print scale.
- One piece with the ground
- The Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. The Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.

Common questions
Is there a Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum STL I can download?
Mini Skyline builds the file for you in your browser and exports 3MF, which every major slicer opens. If you need an STL, open the 3MF in your slicer and export it from there.
How big can I print it?
Any print size from 40 mm across. The Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum grows with the print: about 5 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
Is it free?
