As implied by the name, this museum was created for the artist Murai Masanari (1905-1999), who was a pioneer in the field of modernism painting in Japan.
The 60-year-old wood home located in a residential district on the outskirts of Tokyo built in the 1940s was renovated into an art museum.
The small room that Murai Masanari used as a studio was preserved in the state it was by covering its exterior in a large box, with the gap between the large box and small box being used as display space.
Old materials from parts of the house that were dismantled were used for the exterior walls in an attempt to merge old time with new time.

日本のmodernism paintingのパイオニアである故村井正成(1905-1999)のための個人美術館。
1940年代に村井さんが東京郊外の静かな住宅地にたてた築60年の木造住宅を美術館に改修した。村井さんがアトリエとして使っていた小さな部屋をそのまま保存し、その外側に、もうひとつの大きい箱をかぶせ、大きい箱と小さい箱の間に生成される隙間の部分を展示空間とした。
外壁には、解体した家の古材を用いた。古い時間と新しい時間とを、素材を用いて同居させようと試みた。
