Suntory Museum
Museum in The Osaka Bay Area area
This cultural complex features a Gallery for exhibitions and an Imax Theater with a gigantic 3-D screen, incorporated with a Museum Shop, café, and lounge. Its unique architectural concept with a drum in the shape of an inverted cone embracing a sphere and two rectangular parallelepipeds stretching outward to the sea was designed by Osaka's own internationally-renowned architect Tadao Ando. The Gallery, which aims to showcase art and design in "easy-to-understand and enjoyable" exhibitions, owns a well-balanced collection of over 15,000 poster masterpieces by artists, such as Toulouse-Lautrec, Mucha, and Cassandre. The Imax Theater, another nucleus of this complex, has a 446 seat capacity and a 20 meter high and 28 meter wide 3-D screen. It is equipped with a 6-channel 15,000 watt digital sound system to bring a truly powerful realistic film presentation.
