Simose Art Museum opened in Ōtake, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan in 2023. The collection includes hina and other Japanese dolls, glassware by Émile Gallé, and paintings by Pissarro, Rousseau, Matisse, Chagall, Saeki Yūzō, Kishida Ryūsei, Léonard Foujita, Yokoyama Taikan, and Kayama Matazō. In December 2024, the Museum, designed by architect Shigeru Ban, and on a site overlooking Itsukushima and the Seto Inland Sea, was awarded the Prix Versailles as the "world's most beautiful museum".
