Nezu Museum

Local name根津美術館 - Nezu Museum
LocationTokyo, Japan

The Nezu Museum, formerly known as the Nezu Institute of Fine Arts, is an art museum in the Minato district of Tokyo, Japan.The museum is home to the private collection of pre-modern Japanese and East Asian art assembled by Nezu Kaichirō. Established upon Nezu's death in 1940, the museum foundation began opening exhibitions to the public in 1941. During World War II, the museum's collection was safeguarded away from central Tokyo, avoiding the destruction suffered by the estate property during the bombing in May 1945. Exhibitions resumed after the war in 1946.

Closed due to large-scale renovation and renewal starting in 2006, the museum reopened in the fall of 2009 with a brand new building designed by the Japanese architect Kengo Kuma.
