Artizon Museum Aatizon Bijutukan (アーティゾン美術館), until 2018 Bridgestone Museum of Art (ブリヂストン美術館, Burijisuton Bijutsukan), is an art museum in Tokyo, Japan.^[1]

The museum was founded in 1952 by the founder of Bridgestone Tire Co., Ishibashi Shojiro (his family name means stone bridge).^[2] The museum's collections include Impressionists, Post-Impressionists and twentieth-century art by Japanese, European and American artists, as well as ceramic works from Ancient Greece. The museum was located in the headquarters of the Bridgestone Corporation in Chūō, Tokyo.

Closure and eventual reopening
