Among the most peculiar architectural realizations of Leopold II are the Chinese pavilion and the Japanese tower. Open throughout the year, the Chinese pavilion contains a large collection of Chinese porcelain made for export whereas the Japanese tower offers an exceptional setting for temporary exhibitions on Japan. Both the collections and the buildings illustrate the history of the intriguing contracts between East and West. The Museum for Japanese art presents rich Japanese collections from the Royal Museums for Art and History.
