Nezu Museum
The museum was founded in 1940 to preserve and display Japanese and East Asian premodern art collection of Nezu Kaichiro, a prominent businessman whose career included being President of the Tobu Railway Co., Ltd. Current main building was designed by Kengo Kuma. The expanse of this open, relaxing space is an enjoyable place to appreciate art.
The lush 17,000 square meters of Japanese garden behind the museum creates an oasis in the city, where visitors can take pleasure in the passage of the seasons. (Entry to the garden requires museum entrance fee. Online Timed-entry reservation is recommended. )
