The building in which the museum is housed was constructed in 1921 as the Hakodate Branch of the Dai-Ichi Bank. After the bank moved premises in 1964, the building was taken over by the JACCS company (ja), which donated it to the city in November 1989, to be used for the promotion of culture.[1][2]
