the Osaka City to commemorate the donation of theworld-renowned "Ataka Collection" by the companies of theSumitomo Group.

are registered as National Treasures and thirteen works asImportant Cultural Properties of Japan.
In the galleries, we systematically display approximately four
hundred notable pieces of Chinese，Korean and Japaneseceramics based on our original composition and display
method. In addition to the permanent exhibition, we organize
temporary exhibitions and special exhibitions once or twice ayear covering specialized themes that highly maintain bothacademic and artistic quality, aiming at producing attractiveexhibitions.
In order to ensure visitors a rich and peaceful atmosphere to
truly enjoy the exhibition, the galleries are equipped withvarious useful devices including the natural-light-drawn
