O museu pertence a fundacao Mokichi Okada (1882-1955). Okada acreditava no surgimento de uma nova civilização, baseada no culto à beleza. Aplicou esse princípio na medicina; na arte e na cultura; e na agricultura. A Fundação Mokichi Okada mantém fazendas no interior de São Paulo, em Mogi das Cruzes, que advogam o fim do uso de agrotóxicos nas lavouras. Designed to reflect a mysterious and unknown world, 200 meters of softly coloured underground escalator passages and mid-point domed hall reflect the unique character of the world-class museum while creating a heightened level of anticipation for visitors. Okada Mokichi (1882-1955), founder of this museum, held a firm belief that "works of art should not be monopolized but made available to be viewed and enjoyed by as many people as possible, helping to elevate human sentiments and making big contributions towards cultural development." Soon after the end of World War II, Okada began energetically collecting works of Oriental art. To prevent these art works from being sold abroad, he established the Tômei Art Preservation Society (currently the MOA Art and Cultural Foundation) and opened the Hakone Museum of Art in Gôra, Hakone. To realize the desire of the founder "to build a world-class museum in Atami to introduce the excellent sense for beauty innate in the Japanese culture to people worldwide," in 1982 in the year celebrating the centennial of Okada's birth, this museum was opened in the city of Atami. The Mokichi Okada Association (MOA) Foundation, centered on the MOA Museum of Art, is promoting a wide range of art and cultural activities which not only include art exhibitions but flower arrangements, cha-no-yu tea ceremony, stage performances, an annual International Children's Art Exhibition among many others. he MOA Museum of Art stands on a beautiful hilltop with commanding views of the summer resort area of Atami and the sea beyond. The museum has spacious exhibition rooms allowing easy viewing of the collection, which consists of around 3,500 works, including three National Treasures and 61 Important Cultural Properties, focused on East Asian art. Particularly famous is the National Treasure Kobai-hyakubai-byobu (Red Plum, White Plum Folding Screen) by the artist Ogata Korin, who was active from the end of the 17th century to the 18th century. The museum also has paintings by Rembrandt and Monet, and sculptures by Moore, as well as a reconstruction of a golden tea room said to have been used for the tea ceremony by military commander Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the 16th century. The MOA Museum of Art (MOA Bijutsukan) is spectacularly located in the slopes above Atami, exhibiting an impressive collection of Japanese and East Asian art. Among the exhibits are three national treasures and numerous important cultural properties, including paintings, works of calligraphy, sculptures and other crafts. The museum also features a Japanese style garden with tea houses and a no theater. The MOA Museum of Art was opened in 1982 by the Mokichi Okada Association (MOA). Okada Mokichi was an avid art collector who lived from 1882 to 1955 and also founded the Hakone Museum of Art in Gora.
