Nezu Kaichiro, a businessman in the early 1900s, passionately collected pre-modern Japanese and east Asian art. Upon his sudden death in 1940, the Nezu museum was built by his family to conserve and preserve his special art collection. The exhibition now has over 7000 pieces with seven being national treasures, 87 important cultural properties and 94 important art objects. The museum also features a cafe, a beautiful Japanese garden and a unique architectural layout all in one harmonious place.
