As a design by Tadao Ando, the Kyoto Prefectural Pottery Famous Paintings Garden Art Museum is a courtyard-style art museum, including Monet's Water Lilies, Da Vinci's Dinner, Michelangelo's Trial, Zhang Zeduan's Qingming Riverside Scene, etc. Here It is mainly due to the corrosion-resistant craftsmanship of pottery prints that the paintings are easy to store outdoors. Although they are only copied famous paintings, they can be enjoyed in an outdoor courtyard, which is also a kind of sentiment. The building structure is very special. It not only uses cement to separate a space in the downtown area, but also introduces the landscape of the botanical garden next to it through some small windows as frame mirrors, breaking the boundaries. Looking at a painting from different elevations, it is possible to obtain different aesthetic interests. In addition to the framed scenery, Tadao Ando's other masterpiece is that he especially likes to introduce light and water to add space to the building.
