Its main building was designed by the French architect Le Corbusier as a symbol of restored relations between Japan and France after the war, and completed in March 1959. In 2016 the main building and its front garden were registered as part of the World Heritage Site "The Architectural Work of Le Corbusier", 17 sites in 7 countries on three continents.
