The museum is a renovated brick warehouse that was built about 100 years ago as a brewery. The architect, Tsuyoshi Tane, designed the building and preserved as much of the building as possible under the concept of "passing on memories." Emphasizing commission work that matches the architecture and the region, the museum has formed a collection of work by Yoshitomo Nara, Jean-Michel Othoniel, and others unique to Hirosaki. The museum holds exhibitions of contemporary art that take advantage of the characteristics of the space, such as the black coal tar exhibition walls.
