The Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum is as much about the building as the exhibitions. It occupies the former residence of Prince Asaka, an unusually complete Art Deco house from the 1930s, with interiors shaped by Japanese craft and European design.
Temporary art and design shows rotate through the rooms, and the gardens make the visit feel calmer than most central Tokyo museums. It pairs well with nearby Meguro sights, especially if you want a slower morning away from the larger museum crowds in Ueno or Roppongi.
