It is 32,100 square feet pavilion that consist of a three-levels with two wings with exhibition galleries, study are, library, offices and storage areas. The west wing of the pavilion is dedicated to changing exhibitions and a netsuke gallery to display the Raymond and Frances Bushell Collection which consists of 900 nutshell-sized Japanese sculptures. The east wing of the pavilion was dedicated for the traditional display of Japanese screens and scrolls or traditional viewing spaces. The exterior walls are made of a translucent material that allows light to enter a room in the same way as a shoji screen. For it’s 30th birthday, the pavilion received a renewal. The County of Los Angeles provided a grant to undergo renovations and repairs. It took approximately two years to complete.
