The Museum of the Imperial Collections, or Sannomaru Shôzôkan, houses and cares for the Imperial collections of artworks. The Museum, run by the [[Imperial Household Agency]] (''Kunaichô''), displays small exhibits from the collection in a gallery located on the grounds of the [[Tokyo Imperial Palace]].

The museum got its start in 1989, when the Heisei Emperor and the Empress Dowager Kôjun donated to the Japanese state a collection of some 6,000 objects. The museum held its first exhibition four years later, in 1993. Over the next 20 years, the museum held 75 different exhibits.
