It is the only museum in Japan that introduces the art and history of ancient bead-making. There is a permanent exhibition on ancient Izumo bead-making, displays on modern Izumo agate work, as well as of tools and products with agate work that was done until the Taisho (1912-1926) and Showa (1926-1989) periods.
