In 1994, Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum’s collection was relocated to Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo. It was later returned to the Museum, in part, on the occasion of its 2012 Grand Reopening. The Collection currently includes 13 sculptural works and 36 works of calligraphy (displayed or in storage).

Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum’s sculptural works consist of 11 pieces collected from fiscal 1975 to 1985 (some through donations) and one piece returned by Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo in 1999. The 12 works are permanently displayed at the Museum.
