The city museum is designed by a professional architect and it blends nicely in the natural environment of the Hijiyama Park where it is located.

Some of the major work which is on display includes three-dimensional art by Alexander Calder and Funakoshi Yasutake, prints by Jasper Johns and Ikeda Masuo, and pieces by Andy Warhol and Lee U-fan.
The museum also exhibits things which are related to the World War II in general and Hiroshima in particular.
