Located in the Minato district, the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum an architecturally and historically important art deco building. As the former residence of Prince Asaka, the building is exquisitely appointed with glasswork completed by renowned French designer René Lalique and interiors by Henri Rapin, upon its construction in 1933.

The museum does not house a permanent collection but instead hosts a series of exhibitions through the year, typically exhibiting modern paintings, sculpture and ceramics with the building itself and surrounding gardens attracting visitors in their own right.

Given the absence of a permanent collection and varying special exhibitions throughout the year, it’s best to refer directly to the museum’s website to confirm current and upcoming events along with days that the museum building will be open to the public.
