The former residence of Prince Asaka: This building, completed in 1933, has served as the main building of the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum since its opening in 1983, welcoming a great many visitors over the years.

To commemorate the museum’s fortieth anniversary, we are holding an exhibition that analyzes and interprets anew the former residence of Prince Asaka. The architectural techniques, the people who were engaged in its construction, the interior designs and materials, anecdotes about the residence—we invite you to collect the keywords, from A to Z, scattered over the former residence and, through those many discoveries, deepen your understanding of its historical and art historical significance.

We are daring to present the former Prince Asaka residence in its original state, as much as possible. Whether you’ve visited our museum before or not, we hope you will enjoy this opportunity to become better acquainted with it.
