The building of Nara National Museum was designed by Katayama Tokuma in a "representative Western style of the Meiji period". The building itself is an Important Cultural Property of Japan. An annex was designed by Junzo Yoshimura in 1973.
Among the treasures housed in the Nata National Museum includes the 12th century Hell scroll, the late 11th to early 12th century mandala, and the 9th century statue of the seated Buddha. In 2002, a conservation center was established at the museum to rescue and restore cultural properties. Specialists at the center help owners and custodian in the safekeeping of important cultural assets.
