This catalogue illustrates the contribution of Asia to the art of gardens, through a selection of approximately 60 works (prints, miniatures, ceramics, photographs) from the collections of the MNAAG. Beyond the specific identity of the Mughal, Chinese or Japanese garden, three common themes are developed:
- the structuring of the space of the Asian garden, envisaged as a closed and arranged place
- the garden as a place for celebrations, festivities, moments of sharing
- the garden as a place of expression of a symbolic plant vocabulary.

Exhibition at the musée national des arts asiatiques - Guimet from July 7th 2021 to September 20th 2021.

Written in French.
