In 1610, the warlord Tokugawa Ieyasu, a retainer of Oda Nobunaga, moved the capital of Owari Province from Kiyosu to Nagoya. This period saw the renovation of Nagoya Castle. Nagoya was proclaimed a city in 1889, during the Meiji Restoration; it became a major industrial hub for Japan. The traditional manufactures of timepieces, bicycles, and sewing machines were followed by the production of special steels, chemicals, oil, and petrochemicals, as the area's automobile, aviation, and shipbuilding industries flourished. Nagoya was impacted by bombing from US air raids during World War II.
After the war, Nagoya developed into a major port and transport center. The Shinkansen high-speed line connecting Tokyo and Osaka converges on Nagoya. Nagoya is served by two airports: Chubu Centrair International Airport in nearby Tokoname, and Nagoya Airfield, home to Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation. Nagoya remains an important center for the automotive, aviation, and ceramic industries, hosting the headquarters of Brother Industries, Ibanez, Lexus, and Toyota Tsusho, among others.
Nagoya is home to Nagoya University, the Nagoya Institute of Technology, and Nagoya City University. It is also the location of numerous cultural institutions, including the Tokugawa Art Museum, Atsuta Shrine, Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens, Aichi Arts Center, and Misono-za. Nagoya TV Tower is the oldest TV tower in Japan.
Le musée des Œuvres de la cathédrale de Pise en Toscane , se trouve sur la Piazza del Duomo, dans le bâtiment où se trouvait au XIIIe siècle la salle du chapitre de la cathédrale. Il fut inauguré en 1986 pour conserver le trésor de la cathédrale ainsi que les éléments des monuments sacrés déplacés pour des raisons de restauration et de sauvegarde et qui nécessitaient un espace pour leur exposition publique.
Parmi les sculptures se remarquent en particulier celles de Tino di Camaino et celles de Giovanni Pisano, y compris la Vierge à l'enfant en ivoire, sculptée en 1300 par Giovanni Pisano pour le maître-autel de la cathédrale. Dans la salle du trésor, sont présentés de nombreux reliquaires des XVII et XVIIIe siècles et quelques-uns d'époque médiévale, parmi lesquels se trouvent ceux contenant des pierres du Golgotha et un morceau du vêtement de San Ranieri ermite et patron de Pise. En outre, sont également conservés des peintures du XVe au XVIIe siècle, une série de marqueteries en bois provenant de l'ancien chœur de l'abside, une collection d'ornements sacrés et diverses pièces étrusques, romaines et égyptiennes. Ces dernières furent rassemblées par Carlo Lasimio, conservateur du Camposanto. Enfin, également grâce à Lasimio, sont présentées des estampes aquarellées représentant les fresques du Camposanto, qui pour beaucoup d'entre elles demeurent aujourd'hui, le seul témoignage de ce qu'elles furent.
Du cloître du musée on peut admirer une splendide vue du campanile.

The Museum of Classical Archaeology is a museum in Cambridge, run by the Faculty of Classics of the University of Cambridge, England. Since 1983, it has been located in a purpose-built gallery on the first floor of the Faculty of Classics on the Sidgwick Site of the University.
The museum is one of the few surviving collections of plaster casts of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture in the world. The collection consists of several hundred casts, including casts of some of the most famous surviving ancient Greek and Roman sculptures. Noteworthy casts include those of the Laocoön and His Sons, the Farnese Hercules, the Barberini Faun and Charioteer of Delphi.
The Peplos Kore is perhaps the best known exhibit in the museum. It is a plaster cast of an ancient Greek statue of a young woman painted brightly as the original would have been, which was set up on the Acropolis of Athens, around 530 BCE. In 1975, the museum attempted to replicate the sculpture's original appearance by painting a cast of the figure. The replica was then displayed next to a second, unpainted cast as a challenge to the erroneous equation of ancient Greek sculpture with pure white marble.The museum also holds a large collection of sherds and epigraphic squeezes.
The museum is open to the public Tuesday to Friday: 10.00am to 5.00pm and on Saturdays in University term time: 10.00am to 1.00pm.
The museum is one of eight which make up the University of Cambridge Museums consortium.
