    Based on the philosophy that items deeply rooted in the daily lives of ordinary people are also art, this museum preserves and displays a collection of some 30 thousand ancient works of art. The museum was established in 1978 with the purpose of stimulating and contributing to the local community and to the development of arts and culture. The museum's collection of ancient art was gathered over a more than 60 year period by Tottori City physician Hajime Watanabe and includes not only pieces from Japan but also from various countries in the Asian cultural sphere. The museum holds exhibitions featuring works by invited local artists, workshops, and more, and is gaining popularity as an art museum where visitors can enjoy looking, touching, and experiencing art.
