A. The museum is named after its founder, Teizo Morohashi (1934–2003). Morohashi was a businessman from Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture, and the founder of XEBIO Holdings Co., Ltd., a sports goods retailer. He developed a deep interest in art during his student years and became fascinated by artworks by Salvador Dalí (1904–1989) and the bold ways his works were displayed when he visited the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres, Spain, in 1975. Thereafter, he became even more interested in Dalí and Surrealism.

A. The Morohashi Museum of Modern Art opened in June 1999, following Teizo Morohashi’s donation of artworks, land for the museum, and the buildings. The architectural design was a collaboration between Kimio Shimizu (Kimio Shimizu Architect Inc., Koriyama City) and the founder Teizo Morohashi. It features a symmetrical one-story medieval stable-inspired design covering approximately 1852.08 square meters on a site of over 45,818 square meters. The interior of the museum features a 9-meter-high open sculpture hall that brings in a lot of natural light and stretches for about 100 meters.
