The museum was opened on June 2, 2009 with the aim of becoming a "base where various people and cultures meet, connect, and create new cultures" at the port where cultures meet. It is a cozy rest house that also has an art space with the port of Yokohama spreading out in front of you.
A big elephant welcomes us at the entrance. It is a symbol of dialogue and vitality that keeps an eye on the 150th anniversary of Yokohama and strongly guides Yokohama and humankind in the future.
