To complement its works celebrating the traditions and cultural properties of Shimane Prefecture, the museum presents various artworks that draw attention to the basic elements of art — points, lines, shapes and colors. Highlights include "Steamboats, Rotterdam" by French neo-impressionist Paul Signac (1863-1935), an artist credited for developing the pointillist style.
