It hosts special exhibitions in diverse genres, from historic Western paintings to contemporary art, manga, fashion, and design. The building distinguished by its unique exterior with a beautiful wavelike glass curtain wall was designed by the architect Kurokawa Kisho, famous for projects such as the Nakagin Capsule Tower Building.
