根津美術館(Nezu Museum)




根津美術館(Nezu Museum)由根津嘉一郎氏於1940年建立。館內展示大量的繪畫、雕刻、陶瓷等東洋古典美術作品。其中以茶道用具和佛教美術作品最為著稱。同時,根津美術館內還收藏有中國古代青銅器,瓷器等。館內的展示內容定期更換。館外以大自然為主題的日本式庭園,綠樹成陰,曲徑通幽,令人心曠神怡,只有入館參觀者才能有幸一睹。根津美術館參觀所需時間大約為1小時。

The Nezu Museum (根津美術館, Nezu bijutsukan, formerly: The Nezu Institute of Fine Arts), located in the Minato district of Tokyo, Japan, houses the private collection of Nezu Kaichirō (1860–1940). The museum opened to the public in 1940 and escaped the destruction suffered by the estate property in the bombing of May 1945. Closed due to large-scale renovation and renewal from 2006 onwards, it re-opened in fall 2009 with a completely new museum building by the Japanese architect Kengo Kuma.

Included in the collection are a pair of Edo period folding-screens of Irises by Ogata Kōrin. It also includes other paintings of renown, calligraphy, sculpture, ceramics, textiles and archaeological materials, as well as objects in lacquer, metal, and wood. The collection also consists of Chinese bronzes of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The Nezu Museum is also known for its vast, Japanese-style garden.
