About Nezu Museum
The Nezu Museum was founded in 1941 to preserve Tobu Railway president Kaichirō Nezu's collection. Kengo Kuma's serenely austere building reopened in 2009 around the original Nezu garden.
Seven National Treasures and 88 Important Cultural Properties anchor the collection, with rotating displays of tea-ceremony utensils, ceramics, calligraphy, and screen painting.

Preventable blindness, caused by conditions like cataracts and trachoma, affects people of all ages across the world's poorest communities. A small gift — for the cost of a museum ticket — can provide a simple surgery to restore someone's sight and transform their life.
