The Terada Collection in the museum's collection was acquired and donated by Kotaro Terada (1927-2018), a member of the joint venture partners of the Tokyo Opera City Building. Terada, who was one of the landowners of the Tokyo Opera City area, participated in a joint public-private redevelopment project in 1991 that included the construction of the New National Theatre, and agreed to the establishment of the museum, continuing to collect and donate works to be housed there for the rest of his life.
Terada's collecting activities began in earnest after his encounter with the painter Tatsuoki Nambata, a solitary explorer of abstract art in postwar Japan, and eventually progressed under his themes, such as "Oriental abstraction," "black and white," and "fantasy painting. The underlying question of what is "Japanese-ness" and, before that, "what is a human being?" reflects strongly Terada's way of life, which was marked by his defeat in the war as a young man, his constant distancing from current trends amid the subsequent shift in values and various changes in society and the world, and his vigorous curiosity and dynamic critical mind. His vigorous curiosity and lively critical spirit are strongly reflected in his works. The collection includes approximately 600 works by father and son Tatsuoki and Fumio Nambata, as well as approximately 4,000 paintings, watercolors, drawings, prints, sculptures, ceramics, photographs, and other works mainly from postwar Japan. The collection is also comprehensive, covering a wide range of Japanese postwar art.
Since its opening, the museum's collection exhibition has introduced the Terada Collection by setting a theme for each exhibition, and this exhibition comprehensively introduces the highlights and highlights of the collection as a whole.
