An arts and culture hub that opened on Tennozu Isle in December 2020. The museum mainly showcases rare artworks that its operator, Terada Warehouse, has been entrusted with by collectors.

Along with the artists’ vision, the museum highlights each collector’s unique perspective through carefully selected works, creating a place where visitors can connect with art. The Model Storage also houses and displays many architectural models from Japan and around the world made during the design process, well worth a look.

There’s also WHAT CAFE, about a 5-minute walk away on Tennozu Isle. This art space blending a gallery and cafe spans 800 square meters, where you can enjoy food and drinks while viewing and purchasing artwork.
