Opening ceremony
('97 Kyoto Conference of the
World's Leading Museums)　
The '97 Kyoto Conference of the World's Leading Museums is an international conference where representatives of world renowned museums gather in Kyoto to discuss and exchange opinions regarding world cultural heritage and general issues pertaining to art.

The museum is an important institution which guards this cultural heritage; it is also a place where people from all the world's different cultural spheres can gather and communicate, in other words, one which links all people irrespective of age or fortune. It can also be said to be a place where we encounter the past and our history. With such significant attributes, it seems almost certain that the museum should in the near future come to occupy the role of a spiritual leader of international society.
