Founded in 1909, the Nezu Museum exhibits a diverse collection of ceramics, lacquerware, swords, dyed textiles, and more, centered around the Nezu Kaichiro Collection. The museum includes 88 Important Cultural Properties and 7 National Treasures, among which Ogata Korin's "Irises Screen" is open to the public every April and May, and can be enjoyed along with the irises in the garden.

Another highlight of the Nezu Museum is the 12,000m2 stroll-style Japanese garden at the back of the museum, with its stone bridge, teahouse, pond, and moss garden, which show different expressions throughout the seasons. At NEZUCAFÉ, you can enjoy matcha tea and Japanese sweets while looking out at the garden, and the museum shop has original catalogs and crafts.

The museum architecture is a modern Japanese structure designed by Kengo Kuma.

An online date and time designated ticket system has been introduced for visits.
