The museum houses a collection of approximately 500 works of art assembled over half a century by Yumiko Shimose, President of Marui Sangyo Corporation, including many pieces inherited from her parents and co-founders of the company, Fukuei and Shizuko Shimose. The museum is a work of art itself, featuring eight movable exhibition rooms that appear to float on water in a design by Shigeru Ban that was inspired by the islands of the Seto Inland Sea.
