The building has one basement level and three floors above ground, is 23 meters tall and has a total floor area of 10,333 square meters. It was designed by Shinichi Okada's office together with Iwakiri Sekkei, and Okada received the Japan Art Academy Prize for the design.

Among foreign works, the Surrealist paintings of artists such as Rene Magritte and Giorgio de Chirico and the contemporary Italian sculpture of Arnaldo Pomodoro and Giacomo Manzu are among the strongest collections in Japan.
