"If it were to close, it would be a great loss," Toshihito Kumagai stated, urging support for an online initiative aimed at preserving the museum amid uncertain future.
Critics suggest that the Hong Kong-based Oasis Management's influence over DIC Global's board has led to decisions favoring profit over cultural investments, risking the museum's closure.
DIC's corporate art collection features notable contemporary Japanese art and an exceptional collection of 20th-century Western art, including works by Picasso and Rothko.
The museum, opened in 1990 and designed by Ichiro Ebihara, reflects the vision of Katsumi Kawamura, who believed in the synergy of art and chemical innovation.
