It actively holds exhibitions showcasing excellent works from Japan and abroad with unique perspectives, attracting a wide range of people, not just photography enthusiasts. The museum's architecture was designed by the world-renowned architect Kisho Kurokawa. Its distinctive exterior and interior are symbolic of the museum itself.
