With about 3,000 items, including paintings, ceramics, lacquer wares, glasses and dyed textiles, some of which are national treasures or important cultural assets, the museum holds a variety of exhibits under its mission statement: "Art revisited, beauty revealed." The museum was designed by internationally renowned architect Kengo Kuma, based on the concept of Japanese modernism. In addition to its hybrid shop and cafe, "shop x cafe," the museum also houses a tea ceremony room, "Genchoan."
