Wonderful exhibit this month on large silk screens. Large collection of Asian art. At the end,head out to one of the best small japenese landscape gardens in this city. Really relaxing experience.

It was raining and still, I was enchanted with the beautiful garden and didn't want to leave. There is a very peaceful small restaurant with direct views on the greenery. The museum inside has many interesting pieces and the most beautiful iris screens in Japanese art. But the most beautiful part is the garden with its many statues and lovely... More

Designed by the great Kengo Kuma, this museum is a real jewel in the heart of Tokyo. The entrance walk, lined by a bamboo wall and a wall of living bamboo, is a gorgeous and serene transition from the busy shopping district to the quiet museum. This is one of Kuma's loveliest buildings in Tokyo, and worth a visit for... More

The Nezu Musuem is a small but delightful place to visit in Tokyo. The collection is small and features Japanese and other Asian pre-modern arts, including calligraphy, painting, sculpture, ceramics, lacquer, metalwork, bamboo crafts and textiles. There is a small but outstanding display of ancient Chinese bronzes. Once you have visited the Museum displays, you will be enthralled by the... More

The Nezu has a small (and rather eclectic) permanent collection, but it is augmented by sophisticated temporary exhibits. The art collection belonged to the railroad magnate who gave the museum his name. The Japanese garden (with a lovely tea room) is an exquisite surprise in the middle of Tokyo, but we actually went for the architecture. Kengo Kuma is the... More

This museum is located in a peaceful corner of Tokyo, in Aoyama 6 chome, not very far from Omote-sando tube station. On the way to the entrance you will already feel you are hearty welcomed by bamboo hedge. The museum building itself is not huge but well designed and petty modern. It is a comfortable contrast with a large and... More

I visited this museum last year and this year I took my friend back because I was so impressed the first time around. Ogata Korin's Iris screens are a permanent exhibit so only to see that it's worth the admission price. It has enough artwork to keep you engaged but not too many to bore you. When you had enough...

The Nezu is an old museum--it opened just after WWII on the Aoyama estate of a wealthy art collector--but its gorgeous building is only a few years old. It was designed by Kengo Kuma and is not only an ideal showcase for Nezu's collection (which includes Buddhist statues, scrolls and tea ceremony implements) but an incredible window on its gardens,...

What a gem in Aoyama. The garden is so beautiful and peaceful. The museum is a perfect size, about 6 galleries which are well laid out and the curation offers both Japanese and English descriptions. The modern design of the building itself is worth seeing as are all the traditional tea rooms in the garden. The museum shop is a... More
