The museum makes use of the former Residence of Prince Asaka's historic structure, an Art Deco-style building built in 1933, and its garden. The interior walls are decorated with various decorative paintings of nature and garden scenes by French decorative artist Henri Rapin. Presenting a selection of approximately 120 works of art, including paintings, sculptures, crafts, prints, photographs, and documents, this exhibition brings focus to trends surrounding modern gardens in France during the interwar period between the two world wars centering on those featured in the exposition and introduces the ways in which gardens developed by means of incorporating elements of classicism, exotism, and cubism.
