The Japanese garden
The Japanese Garden was laid out in 2013 and is open every day and follows the museum's opening hours. Visitors can experience how the landscape changes during the changing seasons.
With this, the museum wants to add a contemporary character to the museum park. A Japanese garden is the natural choice seen in the context of contemporary neo-modernism in architecture and its continuation of Japanese simplicity and elegance.
The garden is a place for an artistic experience and contemplation. It contains an open viewing veranda where the public can sit under a roof, and experience the different qualities that arise in changing seasons. Subtle lighting makes it attractive to the public even in the dark.
