Opened in 1994 as part of the Suntory's 90th anniversary commemorative project, in Tempozan Harbor Village, Osaka, where Suntory began, this cultural complex features a gallery for exhibitions and an Imax Theater with a gigantic 3-D screen, and incorporates a Museum Shop, a café, and a lounge. Its unique architectural concept with a drum in the shape of an inverted cone embracing a sphere and two rectangular parallel pipes stretching outward to the sea was designed by the well-known architect, Tadao Ando. The gallery owns a collection of over 15,000 poster masterpieces by artists such as Toulouse-Lautrec, Mucha, and Cassandre. The museum was closed on December 26, 2010.
