Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum (東京都庭園美術館 Tōkyō-to Teien Bijutsukan) is an art museum in Tokyo, Japan. It is one of Japan's many museums which are supported by a prefectural government.[1]
The museum is located in Minato ward, just east of Meguro Station. The museum is housed in an Art Deco building that was previously the residence of Prince Asaka Yasuhiko (1933–47), the official residence of Prime Minister (1947–50), and the State Guest House (1950–74).
Teien means Japanese garden and the museum is named so because the building is surrounded by a garden and sculptures.
